This was one of the views from a small rise just east of the Rail Trail. This is the line that used to run to Baldwin early in the 20th century. Now it is part of the bike trail around Lawrence. Follow it north and you pass within 20 ft of the elevators in this drawing. The flag is actually a remnant from a drawing that was on the bottom of the page.
This used to be the County yard. Now it has moved east of the county jail. There is a lot of activity though; two buildings are being put up. You can see some of the steelwork in this drawing as well.
There are north elevators along the tracks a few miles north across the river. Although you cannot see those elevators from our side of town, you can sure hear the trains - especially at night when laying in bed going to sleep.
