Nothing special, but they fascinate me as much as the skyscrapers of New York or Chicago.

Six of my grandfather's eight siblings went to Montana before and during the Homestead boom. None ever went back to the Ozarks except to visit.

This is the first time I have visited this elevator when the light was spectacular and the base wasn't littered with parked trucks and campers.

The elevator crew has finished loading hoppers for the day at the Kentland facility in Sheldon, and is taking their engine back to the shed. Power is provided it form of a former Vermillion Valley (originally B&O) GP9 leased from Indiana Boxcar Corporation. Since the elevator crew seems to be able to freely move about the KB&S mainline, I'm guessing the railroad just considers this all part of yard limits.

It is fairly difficult to figure out where one town ends and the next one begins in Gem Valley, Idaho. I think this old wooden elevator is in Niter, which is little more than a name on a map. But there are farms scattered through the area including this wooden elevator and a curious horse. HFF.

A few days ago I shot an eastbound at the elevator in Spruce Grove from the air. I returned recently to see if there was a west bound shot at the same location in the afternoon. I find both shots just a little cluttered, but the area around the tracks has gone from elevators to industrial land, while the city skyline is slowly modernizing.

These were always found by the railroad for easy transportation

Izmir’s interesting places to visit is the Historical Elevator building. This building, which also gave the district its name, was had built by a Jewish businessman named Nesim Levi. The Elevator, which was built between Mithat Paşa Street and the 40-meter high Şehit Nihat Bey Street, was built on an old quarry and put into service in 1907. The elevator saves everyone from climbing the 155 steps between Mithat Paşa Street and Halil Rıfat Paşa Street. The elevator tower consists of three floors. The elevator, which has remained intact to this day, is now electrically driven.
