The tower in the above photo is on the left side of the view below. So they built the new bin on the north side of the elevator.

I saved this image to record that it does get rail service. There are 2-car and 3-car cuts of hoppers parked at the elevator. I wonder if that is incoming fertilizer because Norfolk Southern now owns these Pennsy tracks and NS would want to ship unit trains of grain. The siding capacity here doesn't look large enough to accommodate unit trains. But that is a lot of grain storage for just a feed mill. So I can't figure out if and how this elevator ships grain.
