I presume the round slabs are for bins that have been removed.

I noticed this old gas 1920s or 30s gas station.

It appears this is a preserved, rather than a typically restored, Sinclair station. I think those pumps are from the 1970s or 80s.

The railroad was the IC. It was gone on the oldest map I could find, 1954.
