Wood Elevators; (Satellite)
In addition to the railroad water tower in the above photo, the town has a modern water tower.
It is easy to find the municipal water tower because it casts a shadow across the tracks. But I could not find the railroad water tower.

| Thomas Scoville posted The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy depot at Avon on May 9, 2021. Thomas Dyrek photo. Ruthann Trinco: Great photo. Was this it's original spot? Thomas Scoville: Ruthann Trinco, no, it was moved here from its trackside location. [I don't have the time to look for the current location.] |
Two wood elevators on the left and some bins on the right.

A couple of blocks north is a feed mill and more grain storage. In the right background we see the above two elevators.
