Station elevator (Section 22) was built along the Wabash—Norfolk Southern railroad spur running between Urbana and Sidney 1881−1990. The elevator was operated by Jacob G. Holterman until December 1903 when it was taken over by Alfred Edmond Silver as Silver Elevator Company. The concrete elevator at the intersection of Illinois Route 130 and East Windsor Road was demolished in 1986. In 1881 the Wabash railroad built a spur from Sidney to Urbana on the route of a vanished 1838 unpaved dirt road going from Paris in Edgar County to Urbana. In 1854 the road was part of the mail stage route from Urbana to Vincennes, Indiana. The road disappeared when township roads on section lines were established in 1860. Myra Station depot on the opposite side of the tracks from the elevator was named for Myra Silver (1834−1903) who owned a farm south of the depot in Section 26. On 30 November 1903 she was killed by a train approaching from the southeast as she was crossing the tracks to board at the station. The accident was described in some detail by one of the local newspapers. The railroad spur was abandoned and the tracks taken up in the 1990s. Urbana elevator (Section 8). H.R. Stinespring Coal, Flour and Feed elevator at 202 North Market Street (Broadway Avenue) in 1913 was south of both the Big Four and Wabash railroad tracks. The Wabash depot was at 220 North Market Street. The wooden elevator was still standing in 1968, but has since been demolished. Mills Runnel Fielder built a mill on the Saline Branch in Section 11 in the 1820s. Charles Heptonstall built a water-powered flour and sawmill on the Saline Branch about a mile downstream from the Urbana settlement in 1838. A Methodist camp meeting was held at the mill in 1839. The mill later disappeared, probably washed away in a flood. Jacob Mootz built a water-powered grist and sawmill on the Saline Branch around the year 1842. It was on land owned by Col. Matthew W. Busey in Section 8. The creek was dammed west of Market Street (Broadway Avenue) to form a millpond. The millpond and environs eventually evolved into Crystal Lake Park. Remains of the dam were still visible when Crystal Lake became an Urbana park in 1908. The lake occupies the original channel of the Saline Branch, cut off when the creek was straightened and channelized
