The Bloomfield Branch had been cut way back by 1956.

Dennis DeBruler: Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QR6H6V3gFivufia36. 

was the depot originally along the Bloomfield Branch or was it along the mainline across the north side of town?

Gary Miller commented on John's post
What she looks like today !

It did street running on 11th Street between College and Equity Streets.

John Hamilton posted four photos with the comment: "[L&N RR, Shelbyville Station]: My grandparents took my mom, Thelma Hamilton, and aunt Maxine Shouse to see President Truman. My grandfather, Ira Burke Rucker, is wearing the hat and my mom is immediately to his left and front with the dark band holding her pigtail. ❤️"

[It looks like it was along the mainline along the north side of town. But I still have not been able to determine where it was.]

The depot is still used by CSX as an office.

While looking for the caboose, I came across a couple of locomotives parked at the depot. And a MoW device.

Tampico, IL: CB&Q Depot

(Satellite, was this the foundation of the depot or was it just east of Joy Street.)

I think the old grain elevator would have been out-of-frame on the right.

This topo map implies that the depot was in the same block that had the old grain elevator.

The town still has a grain elevator and some restored Italianate buildings.

There is quite a bit of grain storage on the south side of town, but that looks like it is for a hog farmer.

Street View, May 2023

And there is an elevator east of town with a tree line that clearly shows where the CB&Q used to run.

The CB&Q had quite a few tendrils in northwest Illinois.

Oakes, ND: C&NW Depot and Old Grain Elevator

(Satellite, Pardis Law Office has reused some of the land.)

Oakes, ND 3-21-81

The C&NW terminated in this town. The routes on the north side of town were the Northern Pacific. According to a USGS map, the C&NW+NP routes are now owned by Red River Valley & Western, and the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie is now owned by Dakota Missouri Valley & Western.

1952 Oakes Quad @ 24,000

The depot was on the west side of the tracks and a little south of Main Street, and the grain elevator was on the east side of the tracks and just south of Main Street.

I accessed older views above trying to find better sunlight. I didn't find any sun on the old elevator, but I did notice some additional bins and a leg. So I revisited the first view.

Street View, Aug 2013

Google Maps labels this elevator as a feed mill. Note that it gets rail service.

Satellite

An elevator on the southwest side of town handles grain storage. Looking at the Columbia Grain International website, I'm reminded that grain in North Dakota means wheat, not corn or soybeans.

And ND grows beans other than soybeans.

And there is fertilizer supply and more grain storage on the southeast side of town.

Dennis DeBruler: A USGS map labels the routes to the North and East as B&A, but it labels the yard and the route to the West as Montreal, Maine & Atlantic.
William Pfaff: Cool it's still there.

Dennis DeBruler commented on William's comment
Thanks, I was able to find it. Not only were their several locomotives in the yard, but there is also a car on the transfer table and a coaling tower in the upper-right corner of this excerpt.
