I open the link. I get hit IMMEDIATELY with pop up ads. I sift through the BS and get to the article, but it keeps jumping ALL OVER the place. After 2 minutes I know nothing about the incident. Why do I even bother...

Really, really, really crappy layout on that TV station website ... It is on my "list to avoid."

I run an Adblocker so pop ups or ads for me

Looks like the elevator is away from the UP mainline on a old abandoned MILW branch that serves as a spur to the elevator.

Yes the old Milw. Road branch to Spencer,Ia ran just west of this elevator. They have been loading unit grain trains there since CNW days.
