Elevators (for inspiration and referance)

[Outback]

I was asked by a friend if I could get some photos of some typical Grain Elevators on the Canadian Prairies for his referance and idea brainstorming for his layout. So, here begins a thread for nothing but Elevators and their various componants for everyone to share. Hope you all enjoy looking or adding your own pics.

For Mark -->

These are in Saskatchewan along the SSR route between Stoughton and Regina and are mainly former Sask Pool elevators. I might also add that they were shot on my cell phone while travelling at 70 mph so my apologies for any imperfect camera angles ;-p

Great idea for a thread Outback. Here's one of the restored elevators in Inglis, Manitoba.

Awesome pictures.
I have already saved them on a file for my HO reference.
I got those pics of the SSR units at Filmore SK-Thanks
Is that your normal route or do you get to other areas in SK.
Thanks again For the pics and keep them coming.

Thanks Mark.......

Here's a few more. These are right here in my home town and are two of the three here.

The first one is the Paterson Grain main elevator, and the second one is the former Manitoba Pool elevator now owned and operated by Paterson.

Yes, it has a mural painted on the side that shows the internal process.

Rail side...
