You can follow along with my handy-dandy CP La Riviere subdivision mileage chart.
First up was the former UGG elevator in Morden itself.
It says "MCCABE - VICTORIA BRAND" on it in faded letters.
Not far from Morden is Winkler, hosting its own elevator.
I believe there is a concrete elevator in Winkler, but I didn't get close enough to take a decent photo of it.
Next up was the heritage elevator in Plum Coulee, Manitoba. What a great name for a town!
This is a former Agricore United elevator that was taken over by the town.
Plum Coulee has a plan for a heritage square in the centre of town, described here. They appear to have acquired a CP caboose, boxcar and hopper car for their display. I saw them parked on a stub track. Poor CP 434508 has no windows any more.
I shot the elevator at La Salle, MB back in April 2010.
Of course in April there were no grain cars there.
At this point we left the La Riviere subdivision. I have not been to Domain or McTavish, so I don't know if they still have elevators or not. There is at least one elevator in Morris that I need to get to, soon.
