In addition to the grain elevator behind the depot, we can see a leg for another elevator in the background.

The depot would have been on the left side of this siding. It looks like an old gas station was repurposed as the police station. The concrete silos in the depot photo are still being used.

This is the B&O route that terminates in Decatur, IL. Every source I checked says CSX still owns it. A street view shows that the crossing is maintained and the rails are shiny.

I find it hard to believe that CSX would bother with this route. Sure enough, it allowed a shortline, DREI (Decatur & Eastern Illinois), to have it.
