Grain elevators at Nanton, Alberta. No longer in use, these have been preserved as historic artifacts by the people of Nanton.
Taken through a light drizzle.
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.
UP's daily Herington-Topeka manifest, the MHNTP only has two questionable options to get from the ex-RI Topeka Sub into the ex-UP yard on the Kansas Sub.
On this day, this primarily eastbound train was routed west at SJ Jct. and over BOTH Kansas Sub mains for its last few miles... before shoving back eastbound into the yard. This is all while it creaks around some respectably sharp curves at the Kansas River bridge. Oof.
Anyway, the upside is that when they do run this way, you've got a consistent afternoon westbound that often runs with interesting power. On this day, I didn't get that, but oh well. On the other hand, you can see some of the many stored UP units in the background of this scene, which makes for an interesting view.
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.

Explored.
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.
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.

One from the archives today, blue hour over the Cargill Pool Grain Elevator on Lake Erie, Buffalo's Outer Harbor ... #etbtsy
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.
A coal train runs at train speed along BNSF's Bosie City sub, passing this massive grain elevator. A matched pair of clean SD70ACe's are a nice look in the early morning sun.
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.

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.
The three pieces that make up the midwest… corn, windmills, & trains. Anywho, heres DREI’s 101 job skating along the farm fields near Murdock, IL.
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.
Madonna interviews Maurice inside Val Marie's old grain elevator. Maurice's father used to be the agent in charge of this facility, but the old building has been closed for many years and efforts to restore it inside and out are ongoing. Madonna has created award winning radio documentaries, although in recent years she has been more involved with music, performance art, and writing. Regardless of the format, she cannot resist a good story, and no doubt the interview is on file somewhere awaiting future development.
I photograph whatever comes my way; if my friends are doing something interesting, I'll probably be there to document it. For this shot, I toned down a very contrasty RAW original by applying some HDR processing. Then I converted to monochrome and added a light sepia wash.
