Schaller, IA: Lost/C&NW Depot and Wood Grain Elevators

Depot: (Satellite, this building has reused the depot's land.)
Wood Elevator: (Satellite, part of the Jolly Time Pop Corn facility.)

Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted
Someone asked to see a photo graph of Schaller, Iowa located on the line form Wall Lake to Correctionville.   Here is the only photo our archives holds of Schaller, a snapshot of the depot dated July 1961 but does not have the name of the photographer.

David Cenci commented on the above post
1975...cannot tell if the rails are still in..but the depot is gone.
Tim Myrtue: David Cenci They would still be there in 1975. It was right around 1982 they stopped the line.

I see at least four grain elevators in the top photo. Those elevators have been replaced by a modern grain elevator.

But the American Pop Corn facility still has a wood grain elevator.

It also has a lot of steel bins.

I could not pass up the "cuteness" of this photo.
