Waynesville, IL: Wood Grain Elevator and abandoned IT/Pennsy Railroad

(Satellite)

IT = Illinois Terminal

Does anyone have any photos for/of the railroad line that ran through Waynesville Il?? Always heard stories, seems to be very little info out there and even fewer pictures.
[According to the 2005 SPV Map, the route was built by Pennsy and IT took control of it. Some of the comments discuss this further.]
David Jordan: Illinois Terminal bought it in 1976.

They cut down one tree, but then another grew on the north side of the old elevator.

Note that the old elevator was expanded with a "farmer's (stave) silo."
