Glen,

If I were a betting person I would say the track ended north of the elevator 
before it got to the main drag. The elevator was about the only industry there. 
The elevator is still there.

I used to go to Oquawka during the summers and don't remember it crossing the 
main drag.

  Glen:

  I thought that I could help and dug out my alignment charts, only 
  to realize that my book was updated on 11-7-62 and the 
  Gladstone -Oquawka line was removed in 4-61.
