I see <a href="http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/viterra-continues-optimizing-operational-footprint-with-new-elevator-build-manitoba-1941686.htm" rel="nofollow">Viterra is building a new one at St. Agathe</a>... I updated the post to say IC.. thanks for the nitpick, I do appreciate it.<br /><br />Karl, I wish they'd put the cabinet doors on that way all the time! I was thinking of a 2015 railway calendar, and maybe a grain elevator calendar too. Thanks for the reminder. Any requests? :)Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-82698918009087725032014-08-28T10:21:39.117-05:002014-08-28T10:21:39.117-05:00I really like the shot of CN 8934.
