This elevator looks like another example of "if you don't use it, you loose it."

Brian R. Wroblewski: It's in such an isolated spot. I don't think that place will ever be anything but a derelict & a wreck.

Cargill Superior Grain Elevator. Built in 1915 Buffalo NY. November 2025. Here's a fun fact. Cargill-S is the only elevator built in Buffalo who's construction took place in the winter months rather than the summer months like all the other elevators built here.

CSX/NYC Ohio Street Railyard


The yard extend to the other side of the grain elevator.

Google Maps labels it as a CSX yard, and this topo implies that it is a former NYC yard.
1950/50 Buffalo SE @ 24,000

It looks like the yard still has most of its tracks.
