Feed Mill
The feed mill was along the former NYC tracks.

The town has a large ag support business.
The grain elevator not only has a fall projector, but it also has its own locomotive.
The locomotive used to belong to Wisconsin & Southern.
In addition to the original silos, the elevagtor now has some big bins. And we can see in the satellite image that it has some big round piles.
This was the original US-30 cutoff between Fort Wayne and Chicagoland.
