Etzikom, AB - Steel Survivor
Here it is, the only other example of the "tall and skinny steel elevator" that the Alberta Wheat Pool experimented with in their waning days. The other is about a three and a half hour drive north in Starland County, which I have posted on here before. This elevator is the only one left in Etzikom after the classic wooden types here were demolished soon after the rail was lifted. What's interesting is that recently the highway was realigned over the old roadbed for a stretch, staring here at Etzikom as you can see in this photo. If I was standing here some 20+ years ago, I would have been standing on the tracks.
