St John, KS: Combine Collection and Grain Elevator

Kanza Coop elevator at St John Kansas. This is the BNSF line that runs to Trinidad Colorado.....then south and re-connects with the main west coast BNSF line at Dalles New Mexico.

This is the fourth of six pictures that John posted of this elevator. I was going to pass it up as yet another Kansas elevator until I read his comment:

Notice in the 4th photo...there are five old John Deere combines in the foreground. The first one is a 95 square back............... a 55.........a 45 hi-lo...........a 40 square back....and a 55 hi-lo..

John Van Haecke And only one with a cab.

I found a Google Photo that shows the back side of those combines.

The siding that used to serve the elevator is now severed. Note on the right below that the original wood elevator is still standing.
