From the archives: the remnants of a rainbow near the Aberdeen, Sask., grain elevator in June 2017. Tried to get there in time for the full 'bow but Saskatoon traffic held me up.
Southbound from Winnipeg to Soo Line connection at Emerson passes the elevator at Niverville in the Red River valley
The train does not stop here as it was hauling coal not corn. I could not tell if the elevator was still being used.
Here Comes the Grain Again

A long exposure photo of an immense grain elevator rising high above the prairie of Kansas. Photo taken during the Nightaxians Journey to the Center of the Country Night Photography Trip. Tim had a fun idea that we would make this our Nightaxians lair, putting it on wheels. It could happen. For now, however, it will remain stationary. The long streaks in the sky? Star trails, showing the apparent movement of stars over 32 minutes.

Reed Point, Montana; one of the two abandoned classic wooden elevators still standing at Reed Point. The old Occident Flour advertisement still shows.
J. H. Hawes Grain Elevator and Agriculture Museum, Atlanta, Illinois.
Lightroom re-edit from 2013 Rt 66 Road Trip.
NS D36 rolls past the community of Milmine, IL, as the sun begins to turn the sky yellow on its way out for the day. Milmine is one of those many small towns along the rail lines of the midwest, made up of a grain elevator and a rather small collection of homes. Places like these are often forgotten, but following trains around tends to bring us to places like this.
Of course, losing the race against the train tends to make it easy to come across these places. Now we have to race both the train and the sun, and man, I am not winning much of either lately.
,,,coming back from Kansas City in December '13, we ran across this rural icon of the harvest in Levasy, Missouri.
Zurich, Montana; no longer in use, the old grain elevators sit next to the tracks.
Although Zurich still has a post office and a school, the Hi-Line town, with a population of less than 30 people, is close to being a ghost town.
A bit concerned about the pair of grain elevators standing in the ghost town of Neidpath, Sask. One's straight up lost its crown and the other has bits and pieces missing.
Grain elevators at Nanton, Alberta. No longer in use, these have been preserved as historic artifacts by the people of Nanton.
Just watched a 16-minute National Film Board documentary about how an old grain elevator works.

One could call my trip yesterday, 21 October 2019, a mixed bag of sights and images, to say the least. For years, I had wanted to make myself drive south of the city to the whole area S and SW of High River. It was definitely a mental block, mainly caused by fear of getting lost.
On 10 May 2015, my daughter and I had a day out with our cameras. We knew we wanted to try and find the old grain elevator at Azure and we were successful. Yesterday, that was the one thing that I really wanted to see again. It's awkward to photograph, as there are a number of buildings right by it, but I also knew I wanted to take a few very distant shots, like I had done back in 2015.
My morning started off much later than I had hoped, but before driving the backroads, I called in at The Saskatoon Farm for a late breakfast/early lunch. Always a good start to a day out. This time, I was finally able to get one half-decent photo of one of the two new, grey kittens at the farm. Such beautiful little things. So active, inquisitive - and just about impossible to photograph.
The weather forecast sounded good, but my heart sank when I looked westwards and saw that one could barely see the far away, hazy mountains. Managed to include them, with the grey clouds above, so the elevator still stood out with its beautiful backdrop. A photo like that makes me so grateful to live here in Alberta! The wind, though, is something else! At one place I pulled over, the wind was so strong that I couldn't even open the driver's door.
After getting a bit lost on the way to Azure, I decided to take a main highway going west. I knew where it would eventually lead, but forgot just how far the drive home would be. I had been in that area recently, so I had already taken photos of anything interesting. Not that that stopped me from taking a few more, of course.
Though my drive was much shorter (269 km) than other recent drives, it just felt longer. Maybe I have been doing too much driving, but I know that any time now, our third fall snow storm could arrive and I will barely get out for the following 6-7 months.
For such a tiny town, Cromwell sure has a huge grain elevator, right by the railroad tracks.
Here on Google Maps you can see the whole thing:

Norfolk Southern manifest freight No. 189 is led by a BNSF unit as it passes the grain elevator in Seven Mile, Ohio.
My day started two hours earlier in Regina, now I was here in Viceroy watching the sun come up and listening for sounds of a train approaching from the west. Great Western is supposed to have a ballast train called at Shaunavon for 0500 to run east of here to Horizon for loading. It was pretty quiet in Viceroy so I didn't have any trouble hearing that B23-7 chugging as it rolled east at 10 mph.
Viceroy appeared to only have a handful of occupied houses but at one time supported at least two baseball diamonds.
