Favourite photo in this post - UGG in Medora. Yes, the roofline and those yellow window covers are all UGG! And that little Sherritt fertilizer elevator is similar to one that was beside the westernmost Portage la Prairie UGG elevator.

Some great photo angles in this post, Steve. Even some Tex-Mex content!

I'm glad you liked the Medora elevator, Eric. Personally it was not my favourite but that's OK! Thanks for the comparison with the Portage elevator.

Too bad you couldn't get access to that 4 stall roundhouse. That would have been quite the photo op.
Love the Napinka elevator shot with the horses and the old house in Reston.

Waiting for the surprise you have for us in Tilston. But... I may have an inkling......we'll see if I am right.

Hi Glen, when I saw those horses I had to photograph them with the elevators. I actually photographed them on the way in to see the elevators and again on the way out because I wasn't satisfied with the first try.

It's awesome that at one point you could, by using the Arcola Sub, go from Winnipeg to Calgary almost entirely on branch line trackage!

I have saved your photos from Napinka as I’m formerly from there. Hope that’s ok.

That is my parents farm and horses. So cool! Great Photo!

Hey Danie, that's very cool! I'm glad you parents' horses were able to pose!

For sure, "anonymous", you can save the Napinka photos for your personal use.
