    Very cool. Love it.

    I’ve studied that track in the background there – the one that went RIGHT beside the one house – literally a couple feet from the front porch. Was it still in service?

    Remains of it I believe are still there to this day.

    I’m sure it was out of service at the time picture was taken. The track to the Elgin Coop Grain Elevator has already been lifted. That is the fresh asphalt in roadway. Curious that that track was still left. Went nowhere. Last time I looked it was still in the Roadway.
