A 'forest' of elevators, Sterling, CO. 3/13/16 |
I titled it "elevators" because in addition to grain elevators, the town has an
ethanol plant, an
animal nutrition plant, and what I assume is a
sugar-beet processing plant. Given the track ladder in the foreground of the photo, this looks like the two plants on the north side of town.
The above update got me looking for old elevators. I could not find the one posted by Bruce, but I did find this one along the UP tracks.

BNSF has a railyard in this town even though their route through town is gone.
This photo was posted as
BNSF Railway Dept. It would be a view the
Cargill Animal Nutrition feed mill from the BNSF building, but the tracks belong to UP. It is an excellent example of how a feed mill has many small bins to hold the various supplements that they add to the feed.
The 2007 views make me appreciate how quickly the technology improved. Unfortunately, this is the only date available on this street.
They receive some of those ingredients by rail.
