Mt. Pulaski, Illinois...View looks NW at the Elkhart Grain (???) Elevator. The truck is heading south on Washington Street, about to cross the Illinois Central Gulf's Chicago to Springfield (St. Louis) line, which itself, is crossing the ICG's Mattoon to Peoria line. This line was originally the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway. Both are now the Canadian National. Washington Street 'wyes' into Scroggin and Illinois Avenues. The connector tracks for the ICG lines appear along the lower edge, and along the left edge of the photo.
