Scot Scramlin posted nine photos with the comment: "The depot in Northport. It may not be preserved the way purists would like, but it's still standing and maybe even having fun. Black and white photos are from David V. Tinder Collection of Michigan Photography."

Here is another generation of what it looked like at one time.

And another...

The railroad was originally the Manistee & Northeastern.

1955/64 Cheboygan Quad @ 250,000

I knew the C&O snarfed the Pere Marquette in Michigan. I was unaware that they also got Manistee & Northeastern.

Note the three transformers on the pole. If an electric motor is over 5hp, it needs 3-phase power.

The Erie Lackawanna used to pass through the tiny town of Preble Indiana and after they were absorbed into Conrail, the Erie Western operated the line for a couple of years before folding. In the before shot, Joe DeMike caught a westbound Erie Western train going by the grain elevator in Preble and while there's no date on it, I'm guessing it's in the Summer of 1978 because the lead unit still looks fairly clean. I took the current shot on 8/8/2021, approximately 40 years after the tracks were removed but the old grain elevator still stands. You can't see it in this shot but there is still one telegraph pole standing in the trees but everything else having to do with the railroad is gone.

Nathan Garner: Hey cool post! My family runs the Preble Feed Mill. Love seeing old photos of the place!

The feed mill is extant.

It was on the Minden-Wilcox-Alma branch.

The town's grain elevator is rather big given that there is no railroad.

Newell, IA: Grain Elevator

The yellow fall protector implies that this elevator gets rail service. Since CN still owns this IC route, that means a Class I railroad is servicing an elevator that can't handle unit trains.

Wesley Peters posted five photos with the comment:

Ronald Ahrens commented on Wesley's comment
Tillotson Construction Co. built the 150,000-bushel main house, identifiable by the signature rounded cupola, in 1954.
Wesley Peters: Yep I just realized I screwed up the order in my post. I thought I was missing something. Thanks for pointing that out. So the west annex was built by Barton Inc. in 1967. That is the one with the builders plaque.

Bob Summers: Wesley Peters Borton Inc. was the successor to Chalmers & Borton after Mr. Chalmers died in 1960.

The concrete silos are in the upper-right corner of this excerpt. I noticed that the town has some additional elevators further west. Cruising around the west side with street view, it appears that the elevators on the west side are feed mills.

The rail.guide labels the current railroad as CC.

rail.guide

But a Google search for "CC" turned up empty. So I tried this map.

National Rail Network Map

I had to dig deep in the Google search results until I found Nash County Railroad. 

The 19 mile NCYR is owned by Gulf & Ohio Railways, and this route was purchased in 1985. "The Nash County Railroad owns four (4) locomotives and transports over 4,000 carloads annually." [carolana]

Sad News out of Dickinson, ND.

Yesterday Woody's Feed & Grain was largely destroyed by a fire that started on the western side of the complex. No cause for the fire has been released as of this post. As of last evening just the partially burned and collapsed remains of the annex are still standing.

Early History- Farmers Grain Co. Headhouse built in 1908. 34,000-bushel capacity. Annex built before 1957 (exact year unknown). Bushel capacity unknown. False-front headhouse built in unknown year. Bushel capacity unknown.

This landmark will be greatly missed. Glad I got a photo of it when I went through Dickinson in July 2024.
