Seiler Aerial Photo

Guest post by William Russ.

Here’s a Lines West station with a 58 car siding and 2 (or is it 3?) other tracks with a capacity of 77 cars. All that capacity is needed to service the industry we see here plus two others west of here. I count 60 cars on train occupying the main line. I think this train has stopped here to do some work. That said, I can’t locate the power. This makes me think the crew left their train to go switch one of the other industries. One of those has a pair of spurs coming off the main about 1.5 miles to the west. The other is accessed down a long spur just 0.4 miles to the west. All of these industries are agricultural related. The aerial was taken July 29, 1966.
