Here are a couple of decent photos showing the elevator visible behind the MoPac yard.

These also happen to show a rare bird, one of two CEI FP7s that stayed on the property after the L&N split. The other one also came to Wichita once. But in the first photo, you can see the two headhouses side by side.

Here’s a view of the other elevator, from the Rock Island side, showing the south end of the two elevators.

These are from the early 70s, when the paint was actually white.

As for a photo in their demolished state, watch this space for a couple weeks.
