Not only is the wood elevator still standing, they are obviously still using it since it is loading a truck.

But what shocked me even more is that it looks like this elevator is rail-served by UP/C&EI. There is a loadout over tracks, and I noticed in a satellite image that there is a fall protector. The elevator does have a lot of storage, but I'm confused because the siding is so short. There is a siding along the mainline, but it goes just south, and it is just a 1000' long. That won't hold a 100-car unit train. If you know how the rail operations work here, please leave a comment.
