Robert Chitwood: I wonder if the Bevier & Southern used the CB&Q depot. I read B&S stopped their passenger service in 1926.

We have a choice of rectangles on both sides of Macon Street. Because of the building in the background of the photo and the platform between the building and the tracks in the aerial, I picked the western rectangle.

This town is on the CB&Q mainline across Missouri.

Not only is this CB&Q route still owned by BNSF, BNSF owns the Bevier & Southern route to the South.

I traced the B&S route south to see if there are grain elevators keeping that route alive. I didn't find any grain elevators, but I did find the land tattoos of strip mining. This would be were the mine started because the tracks are here and the land has not been reclaimed. North, south and east of here was more mining, but that land was reclaimed.
