This was taken on August 1, 2010 as part of the Alberta Wooden Grain Elevator Survey 2010.
A look down the tracks towards the grain elevators of the Purdue Agribusiness Seaford, Delaware location. The location is served by both truck traffic and the Delmarva Central Rail Road whose Seaford Depot is located about a thousand feet northeast of these elevators.

4 image stitched panorama from the Z7 that I rented for this trip. I hope to get a trip report together for my time with the Z7 soon. Foreshadowing: it has some quirks but I like it. A lot.
Pool B with annex, still standing in Major, Saskatchewan. I am not sure what the other structure is. I have seen older photos of the two elevators and there doesn't appear to be any significant structure in that area.
Wooden grain elevator in the semi-ghost town of Boyd, Oregon. The area was first settled in the 1840s, and Boyd had a population of 150-200 at one time. The town declined after 1923, when the newly constructed Dalles-California highway bypassed the town. Today, about all that remains is this elevator. Could not find when it was built.
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.

Many small town and farming communities have grain elevators. These bins can be fairly small or they may be gigantic. No matter the size, they are indispensable for the collection and dispensing grains grown in this and other countries.
Davis Junction is a village in Ogle County, Illinois, United States. The population was 2,512 at the 2020 census. Named for Jeremiah Davis, it is located where the Illinois Railway Rockford Line and the Canadian Pacific Railway Chicago Subdivision intersect along Illinois Route 72.
Earlier this week, the UP 2632, a Tier IV GEVO led the MHNHN 15 into Topeka from Herington, KS, complete with an SD70, and the very first Genset, the former UPY 2005. Here, it's seen working the west end of the Topeka Yard on the ex-UP Kansas Sub.
The 2005 left the following day on the MTPAS, headed towards Eastouis, and theoretically, NRE Mt. Vernon.
I took this image of an old grain elevator towards the end of last year.
We drove by it again a couple of weeks ago and they had torn it down.
After learning of D91s planned power, a former BN SD40, breaking, I feared the worst, but was greeted with a superior locomotive… an SD40E. Here they are cruising through Catlin.
Special thanks to the farmer for access to the back of this grain elevator.
What used to be an SD50, now tagged SD40E, screams into of Homer, IL with train D91, after waiting on a 14Q to pass on the main.
I don't usually do any shooting when the skies are this bland, but I have no idea when I can get back to Butze in eastern Alberta near the Saskatchewan border.
Just west of Superb I came to the village of Major. According to Wikipedia there are 35 people living in Major plus two former Pool elevators, both privately owned.
I didn't see any of the 35 residents around as I checked out the elevators. I'm not sure when this railway line was abandoned but I have seen a 1999 photo with two tracks in Major.

CPKC #181 is in notch 8 climbing out of the Mississippi River valley along the Chicago sub. Seen passing an antique grain elevator along a huge sweeping curve, unfortunately it is extremely tight shot to incorporate the elevator as a backdrop. The CP combined #252 with #181 at Savanna, so there were 52 cars of freight ahead of the stacks/autos.
This fisherman, brightly clad in an orange survival suit, was dwarfed by gain elevators as he walked out the harbor to a favorite spot - all the while testing for thin ice ahead of him with a heavy steel chipper.
I believe the grain elevators are the most photographed subject in Owen Sound. I never tire of them!
A view of the grain elevator at Mountaire Farms in Frankford, Sussex County, Delaware. The older building in the foreground is labeled as the Frankford Water Plant on Google Maps but I doubt that was the original use of that building.

I'm not sure how long the old grain elevator in Adams, OK has left but I managed to get a picture of it before it met its end. There are no tricks here. This is the precarious angle that this old elevator currently resides at.
I shot this on 8x10 and had hoped to utilize that shot for my grain elevator project. Alas, I'm still having woes with the 8x10 setup. So I give you a digital version edited in Silver Efex to mimic what I was trying to accomplish.
Boissevain had 3 grain elevators when I first visited in 2016. Alas, this one, formerly operated by United Grain Growers, is the last still standing in 2023.
Urban grain elevators of Archer Daniels Midland along Hiawatha Ave in South Minneapolis.
Farmers, Railroads, truckers and ADM combine to feed the world.
As an eastern city kid, I was amazed at these colourful, industrial behemoths when I first saw them; some things never change.

Stumbled across this cool grain elevator when out searching for covered bridges. Thought that it was very cool and unique. Located in Greencastle, IN
From the archives: Lepine, Sask., in the winter of 2017.
This was one of my only winter trips back to Saskatchewan since I moved away, and I had so many wonderful shots of the elevators in Lepine and a recently demolished one in nearby Wakaw -- only to lose most of them when my USB stick got corrupted. Luckily this one survived.
