Back in mid-March, I drove west on the CP mainline for a little while to take a few pictures of the grain elevator at Meadows, MB (here).
The elevator has a single-ended siding (points face east).
There is a beautiful shot of this elevator here. According to that page, the elevator was one of the first built by Paterson around the turn of the century (meaning the 19th-20th century!), and is now abandoned. The nearby modern elevator at Rosser handles all the traffic.
I found a list of wood elevators in Manitoba... good reference material.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteHere's a 1984 photo of the elevator at Meadows:

Differences: classic wooden moveable station replaced by Atco shed, siding gone, tin sheeting being taken away by the wind.
Nice shots nonetheless, thanks for sharing.
