| David MacKenzie posted In June 1921, landlocked Beach, North Dakota resembled a beach. Northern Pacific passenger and freight trains are above the flood waters, next to the grain elevators. The tracks and newer, concrete and steel elevators are still in use. The town of Beach is named for Captain Warren Beach, who accompanied the 1873 Yellowstone Expedition of the U.S. Army to survey a route for the Northern Pacific Railroad. The expedition was under the command of Colonel David S. Stanley, with Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer second in command. Photo by an unknown relative. Dennis DeBruler shared Of course, the four grain elevators caught my eye. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on his share The far elevator in the photo was still standing when this image was taken in Oct 2007. (It no longer appears in a satellite image.) It had a wood annex added before they started adding steel bins. The town is still rail served. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on his share I discovered a wood elevator that is still standing on the north side of the tracks as well. Normally when I use a street view, I include the URL that produced it. But Facebook now deletes my comments that have a URL as spam. So this is an experiment to see if the comment survives. |
