Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust.

Sometimes train chases lead to some very interesting 'other' finds. Given other indications in the immediate area, this section of rail was likely used as part of the road crossing and was subsequently replaced by better and heavier rail. Rusted well with a chunk missing. Part of the Atlantic and Yadkin, now Atlantic and Western

I guess an old rusty car is like a cancer victim. Unattended the body is OK but the rust keeps eating it away until it is no longer its former self and not able able to hit the road and get out and enjoy life again.Then one day somebody says "what a waste...that can be restored, all you gotta do is kill the rust and start over again"

Cut to the chase.....my Big C is in remission, hopefully a stem cell transplant will be the restoration....and the road never looked so good again.

thanks everybody for listening and CARING....merc

This old grain elevator sits near the intersection of IL. routes 34 and 40 between Buda and Manlius,IL.I remember driving by this all my life,my dad bought some feed from this place probably 30 years ago.Things were much simpler then which can be witnessed by its modern counterpart,built just a short distance away along the highway.This has so much more character though!
