3: An overview of the grain elevator area. Much of it has been destroyed. Looking north towards Chicago.

4: Historically, this was the north switch of the passing siding. After some changes to the track layout, it now serves as the switch to the Anderson's Fertilizer spur. Looking south towards Louisville.

5: A derailer placed at the north end of the Anderson's Fertilizer spur. Looking south towards Louisville.

6: There were once three tracks here, with the mainline on the left, the passing siding in the middle, and the grain elevator siding on the right. This curve marks the location of grain elevator siding north switch. Looking south towards Louisville.

7: POTX4594 is spotted at Anderson's Fertilizer, right next to milepost 133. The area between it and the mainline is where the passing siding was. Looking north towards Chicago.

8: While the middle of passing siding is gone, the curves of the grain elevator switches remain, thus leaving you with a spur track with a small s-curve in the middle of it. This curve marks the location of the grain elevator siding south switch. Looking north towards Chicago.

9: The end of the Anderson's Fertilizer spur. The location of the passing siding south switch is presumably near here, although I couldn't find any evidence of it. Looking south towards Louisville.

10: About half a mile north of Anderson's Fertilizer is the other customer in town, Ceres Solutions. This is the switch to their spur. Looking north towards Chicago.

11: A derailer placed at the south end of the Ceres Solution spur. Looking north towards Chicago.

12: The end of the Ceres Solutions spur, apparently being used for rail storage. Note the track assembly sitting on the ground next to the spur. Looking south towards Louisville.

13: Signal 132.8 stands guard. Looking north towards Chicago.

14: According to the timetable, Romney is officially located at milepost 132.9. It can't be too far from Signal 132.9, right? Looking south towards Louisville.
