The railroad was Great Northern. It is now BNSF. I can't determine if the elevator still uses rail service.

Here's a shot of the Fort Benton elevators taken on May 24, 2018 from the elevation to the northeast. |

I see the small grain elevator on the northwest side of the elevator row was still standing in July 2008. A satellite image shows this elevator has been removed. (Normally, I would include the Google Maps' URL for this street view, but Facebook has been deleting my comments that include a URL as spam.) |

A Facebook span experiment. |
I noticed in Jerry's photo that there were three long wooden storage buildings. So I tried to get some more views of them.
A satellite image shows the arrangement of the three long buildings. I also noted that the leg for the small elevator on the southeast side of the elevator row is in a wood building. It is interesting that there are big wood buildings instead of some concrete silos.
I zoomed out to show that fertilizer is also a big business.
The building on the left in Bob's photo was gone by Jul 2008.
This sternwheeler has strayed rather far from the Missouri River.
