My hangar needs other accessories and actuating means, an elevator to reach the parts to fix it is essential.
This is one of the largest grain elevators in the world. It holds 17 million bushels and is half a mile long.
I found several American Oystercatchers working the beach at Stone Harbor. When they'd find a small bivalve (clam), like this one has at the tip of its bill, the clam would start near the end of the bill and just like a little elevator, the tongue would guide the clam right up to the mouth, and then a bit of a gulp and the clam is no more. I'm not claiming that the clam benefits from the "elevator to heaven," but the Oystercatcher sure does when it gulps down a clam.

I have no idea what this contraption is used for other than the fact that it is attached to the side of a grain elevator and I would have to assume that grain maybe goes in it. ???
Either way, it looked cool, I shot it.
I posted another shot late last year of this elevator with a truck passing it...here is a version without any traffic in the foreground. Stopped here for a few shots after some aurora hunting...seen in Auroraville, WI on November 10, 2016.

Cooking right along on their way back home, GLC train OSTN passes the Lott Elevator in Cohoctah. At one time this elevator and the one just north of here were Ann Arbor and TSBY customers but neither have seen a car spotted at them in years and I believe both are long out of business and up for sale.
In my opinion, one of the more picturesque old grain elevator still standing on the prairies.

Another town elsewhere in Manitoba will soon lose its elevator. They have been falling at a rapid rate in the last few years.
Manitoba, 1979. For those who grew up on the prairies, the grain elevators were commonplace. For a kid from the city in the east, they were amazing, colourful giants from an unknown world.

This car appeared on the tracks while were out for the day visiting relatives. Not sure if it's for loading, or just a BO car. That siding is intact from what I could tell. The elevator is owned by a local farm, so there is a remote chance it could be spotted for loading as they certainly were trucking a pile of grain into there. It was still there this morning, however I had to head back to Edmonton.
The Theodore Grain Elevator is the last remaining wooden grain elevator in the community of Theodore, Saskatchewan, after the other three were demolished. This historic structure symbolizes the importance of agriculture in the region and serves as a reminder of the past agricultural economy and the communities it supported. It is adorned with the 1967 Canadian Centennial maple leaf.
It is unlikely that there is another North American city with a population over 50,000 that has a grain elevator in its downtown.

The 844 local shoves three empty grain CHs into the Harrison Elevator Co. track at the end of the Sixth Sub.
These shafts are an integral part of the load-bearing system of a building. For example, a core shaft in a high-rise building might house the central structural elements, including the elevator shafts, stair shafts, and utility passages, all while providing support to the overall structure.

Please see my Suite Life set. It's fun to watch the slideshow and see my day in order. Or not, no pressure. ;-)
This image has nothing to do with an elevator, but to explain: tonight Michael and I were stuck in an elevator for about thirty-five minutes. We were on our way to the third floor of The Sentinel for his work banquet/awards presentation... and he was due to present in 30 minutes. We stepped into the elevator with another couple, their dog, and a hotel employee (carting luggage for the couple on one of those rolling carts).
The elevator seemed to reach the third floor and then... stopped. We all looked up, looked at each other, and looked up again. No movement. After a number of moments passed, the hotel employee got on his walkie talkie to alert the hotel. We then spent the next half hour making light of the situation while rather anxiously awaiting to be rescued... which we were, by firefighters prying the door open enough for us to step out (and two foot down) to the third floor.
It was a bit of a mini adventure, and I admit that I found the novelty of the situation rather enjoyable. :-) Though, it would have been less enjoyable had we not been freed in the nick of time for that ceremony.
Happy Cherry Tree Weekend!
The excitement brought on by the city was dizzying for me. It was an old elevator who suddenly lurched in its stops and starts, her kiss. Things that I wanted to keep silent about as to not ever risk losing them, yet could not but help singing about. Her kiss upon my lips, ink stains on my fingers. All the evidence anyone would ever need.
