Railroad Depot

 

Grain Elevators & old depot
Although no longer served by the railroad due to their limited capacity, some of the old metal covered grain elevators still exist for use by local feed and seed companies.  This August 21, 1997 scene by Lou Schmitz shows two of these elevators, the former 1880 depot, now a storage shed, the former city power plant, and an old mill building.
