The grain is dumped from the truck into a pit where it slides down to a bucket elevator that carries it to the top of the silo where it can then be distributed into a storage bin. Wye Mills is an unincorporated community in Talbot County, Maryland. Print Size 13x19 inches.

Elkton, Michigan

Huron County

This old wooden grain elevator was trying to be saved and there was a plan to move it nearer to town and restore. When trying to move, it split down the middle and has reamined that way until it crumbles or is torn down.

Before I move any farther south with old photos I have found along the NYC Egyptian line between Schneider and Danville, I wanted to post this photo of the elevator that still stands today abandoned. This view is looking N/W with the Egyptian line at bottom. It looks as though it is in the building stages, which would date this to the early teens somewhere. I don't have much info on this grain elevator, but it has been a subject in a lot of my photos at Schneider over the years. Since it was near the bracketed home signal, it was nice to include. I don't remember when they abandoned it, but I remember it being fully stocked with CR hoppers when I was younger.

This image is tiny, and I apologize.

Photographer unknown, and I don't even remember where I found this.

This is just before sunset. I also caught it from another angle after twilight on the return trip.

From the archives: the grain elevator in Ponteix, Sask., in 2016.

At one time this was one of the "must have" images to make on the CSX Greenwich Subdivision in Wellington, Ohio. However, most of the grain elevator complex has been removed and all that is left is the maroon silo. Shown is a westbound stack train in October 2012.

Here are 3 photos of the grain elevator located along NYC's Egyptian line at Sloan, Indiana. Left photo was taken June 8th, 1977 and the center and right photos were taken February 10th, 2003. I'm not sure when this became a complete ghost town or when the elevator was abandoned. At present, the Danville line is not in service here and it appears from Google earth that the elevator is gone or hidden from view in trees.

The sign on the grade crossing crossbuck is instructing Canadian National crews to spot covered hopper cars in a certain location at the grain elevator at Jones Switch near Mattoon, Illinois. The track here is a former IC branch line that once ran to Evansville, Indiana. It is abandoned just beyond the grain elevator.

This ramshackle old palace sits across the road from an enormous new co-op storage facility. It is such a contrast to see them together.
