Bob Summers Like the old concrete stave bins this side of the original iron clad wooden elevator, then a large bolted steel bin. My guess is all pre date WWII.
Dennis DeBruler Thanks for pointing out the concrete stave bins. I would have missed that. But with a second look the steel bands are obvious.

This town is a museum of elevator construction. It has an old slip-form.

And more modern slip-forms in a rail-served elevator.

The former CNW depot in New Ulm MN. It is used by the CPKC as their yard office.
Dennis Kamper: Looks better than the last time I saw it in ‘79…
Matt Wass: Dennis Kamper CP has stuck a lot of money into that whole yard. Good on them making it look and seemingly function pretty well. They've also replaced just about all the grade crossings in town.
Dennis DeBruler: Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DXmMmikUhupeB8ki6

A good friends Dad (in his 80's) presented this to me when I retired after 42 yrs with the C&NW/DM&E/CP.
What a guy!
