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.

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.
