| Jerry Krug updated Bob Summers Back in the day it took an "act of congress" to build a conveyor over an active rail line that was not a spur into our facilities. I suppose the short lines operating some of these branch lines these days are a little more flexible? |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Bob's comment on a post The red tape for a conveyor across the tracks would explain why the white building on the left was a recent addition to the Cargill elevator in Gilman, IL. This conveyor is over the former IC mainline. It is now Canadian National's mainline. The elevator on the right holds 4 million bushels. This photo shows about half of the long building that doubled the capacity of the elevator. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Bob's comment on a post The original elevator was silos and bins. More photos are in my notes on this elevator: http://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/.../grain-elevator... Brett Ellis Dennis DeBruler originally one of the early unit train loaders. Sent many loads there when it was a Continental Grain location. A little over 800,000 capacity at that time. |
I noticed Sublette has another rather large elevator considering that the town is rather small.
