Donavan, IL: Grain Elevator served by KB&S Railroad

KB&S = Kankakee, Beaverville & Southern Railroad

This is on the other side of the road. I can see the KBSR reporting mark on the first hopper.

Seeing that they just patched the used hopper cars that they bought, I took a closer look at the green hoppers. I'll bet these used to be BN hoppers. They must be getting close to their 40-year lifetime limit.

I wonder when their off season is because it looks like sometimes the siding is used to store cars for other railroads.
Industrial Belt Railway posted six photos with the comment:
Good afternoon, everybody!   
I have more photos back in the early 90's at Donavan, Illinois along the Kankakee, Beaverville, and Southern Railroad.
After these photos, I've decided to move onto something else and come back to the KB&S again a little later.
As always, thanks for looking. 
Tim
