This photo was probably taken from the grain elevator. After looking at the topo map, I noticed the house and siding tracks in the photo.

Dave A Robb: Yes, my dad climbed the grain elevator. Too bad he didn't get a train too!

Judging from the shadow, the headhouse was exceptionally tall on that grain elevator. According to a satellite image, the grain elevator did not survive.
