I took the opportunity to shoot the grain elevators on the route.
The first elevator encountered was the one at Sanford. I had already shot this one back in January, so I didn't take any more.
Next up was the Besco Grain elevator in Brunkild. I'm not sure if the elevator uses the rail access, but there is another business in Brunkild that appears to use rail.
We encountered a massive Pioneer structure next, just south of Brunkild.
I shot the elevator at Sperling from a distance, so the picture isn't great.
Finally, this is the elevator complex at Homewood, MB, also from a distance.
By this time, my family was tired of the stops, so I didn't take any photos in Carman itself. Another time!

They are great pictures. I could have taken pictures of a lot of elevator in MB. and Sask. but in the early years of my train chasing all I was after is CN and CP Locomotives. Now all the old wooden elevators have disappeared into the sun set!!

Thanks, Clayton! I understand the focus on locomotives - I passed a lot of stuff by trackside when pursuing trains. I probably still do. There's so much to see!
