I and a group of photographers followed the former Lewvan route from Rowatt down past Estlin, Gray, Riceton, Lewvan, Colfax, and Cedoux. Unfortunately, there was no railway cars at Rowatt the day we were there. And to think Eric Gagnon did a similar route back in the 1980s when their was still elevators! I will be posting photos on Facebook in the next couple weeks of the trip.

As shown in that post, I stopped at Rowatt (for lunch, mistakenly or perhaps optimistically thinking I'd see a passing grain train!?) and my photo of the SWP (now Viterra) doesn't show the Cargill plant, which then had only 2 silos, but in your photos show five. <br /><br />I'll be posting a photo in an upcoming post about Railfan Rides. I parked my rented platinum-mist Fifth Avenue in front of the similarly-coloured Cargill for photos. At that time, 40-foot grain boxcars were being loaded, not the (yikes) Illinois Central P-S covered hoppers of today.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
