The newer elevator was a replacement built in 1982, the older one was a replacement built in 1947. The elevators on the site were owned Patterson Grain Company originally but are privately owned now. The Lowe Farm, MB Grain Elevator, which was just down the highway to the east, was destroyed in 2021.
My wife and I took a brief tour of the Palouse yesterday. I was looking for some wheat harvest in progress but couldn't find any activity. Some fields looked done, and others looked ready. But no one was out there harvesting. I had my R6 with me, but I got this shot with my drone.

This was the first elevator I ever photographed. See that shot from 2010 below in the comments.
Need to get up there and shoot it again. Time is not kind to these old beauties.
I stumbled across this elevator complex (there's another storage area behind me) on the way from one scouted site to another. There was no name on the elevator and no indication of a town name nearby. That night, I searched the map for a name, but there was nothing: it seemed to be just a stop on the railway line.
Kansas, USA.
This trip to eastern Colorado and Kansas was a substitute (lemonade from lemons, if you will) for a storm chasing trip that same week that got cancelled. It turned out to be a lovely little trip. If you'd like to read about the trip and see some behind the scenes pics and video, take a look at my blog post about the Lemonade from Lemons tour. You can see all the images from the trip in my Colorado and Kansas album.
Another elevator from elevator row in Goodland. This will be the last image in this series. Thank you, as always, for all your favs and kind comments on the images from this small series.

There are two grain elevators at Merricourt. They are huge - one concrete and one brick (that's not something you see every day!) - and I assume that Merricourt was once a bustling town. Now it's a near-ghost town with maybe one or two families still living there. Both elevators are abandoned.
Merricourt, North Dakota.

Lacerda Elevator in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. This elevator allows people to move from the low city to the high city or vice versa. Very popular and frequented by tourists from all over the world!
A courtyard behind Salamanca Place in Hobart, Tasmania. I took a similar shot of this glass elevator with my iPhone a few weeks back.
This time I had my DSLR with me. Whilst I got a few brighter and colourful shots, I liked the atmosphere of this b&w version.
15 years ago, the North Pole Express ran up the former New York Central Saginaw branch from Owosso to Chesaning. The train was much smaller in those days, and most of the trip was between 10 and 20 mph. The Saginaw County fairgrounds in Chesaning hosted the North Pole. A few years later, the decision was made to move the North Pole over to Ashley and run up the ex Ann Arbor mainline instead, somewhat due to deteriorating track conditions on the branch north of Oakley. SRI volunteers actually invested a lot of time and money into track work between Oakley and Chesaning in order to continue running 1225 up there, but eventually it became more than they could feasibly do. While the ex AA line is nice, the old NYC was more straight north/south and offered some interesting photos, like the classic Michigan Bean Co elevator in Henderson.

This is one of two very large abandoned and crumbling grain elevators in Merricourt (the other is made of concrete). Brick grain elevators are very rare (although I believe there is a second one in North Dakota), so it was fascinating to see this one.
Merricourt, North Dakota.

This grain elevator is in Kirkpatrick near Drumheller in the Alberta badlands. I've been meaning to shoot it for some time now and finally got around to it just after Christmas.

EFCX 1006 is seen here working at a grain elevator just east of Unity Saskatchewan. The paint job and re-numbering are quite recent occurrences. This SD40-3 is a former DLCX, BNSF unit that was originally built as a CN SD40.
P.S. This unit has been moved to the new G3 terminal just west of Saskatoon.
I wanna show you my world
Where the beat goes up and down
Let me open the door
