Hazelton, ND: Grain Elevator

(Satellite)

Another example of a conveyor built across the mainline of a railroad is what caught my eye. But then I noticed in the satellite image that the wood elevator and conveyor are gone. So I took some extra street views of the old elevator. There are several storage bins further south along 7th Avenue. 

Brian Ziegler posted two photos with the comment: "Slide scans of the Hazelton ND elevator with the railroad tracks and station sign still intact on June 20, 2005.  Moon behind the clouds for a night time exposure. The DMVW RR abandoned the track later in the year and has since been torn out."
[DMVW must have been a shortline. In 1928 the tracks were owned by the Northern Pacific.]

I see by a satellite image that the old wood elevator and the conveyor have been removed. Fortunately, the street view car hasn't been down the road since Sep 2011 so it still has images of the wood elevator.
