Illinois Route 66 - Ocoya

OCOYA, ILLINOIS. Progress, as viewed from where I was standing on an abandoned portion of Route 66 in Illinois. It's likely that grain stored in these silos was first hauled away on the railroad tracks that still run directly in front of them, later on the portion of old 66 pictured here (that is wearing down but still drivable), while today the grain is transported by big noisy rigs on the interstate that was behind me as I stood here.
