This topo map marked it too close to Walnut Street. I noticed that all five streets in town used to cross the tracks. Now UP supports only one crossing.

The depot and lumber yard are gone, but the grain elevator still stands.

I noticed some wood grain elevators in the above view, so I had to check that out. I see it also has a bolted-steel silo.
