Waukon, WA: Wood Grain Elevator

Old Elevator: (Satellite)
Newer Elevator: (Satellite)

The railroad was Great Northern.

They have maintained the elevator better than the building behind it.

You don't see a leg added to an old wood grain elevator very often. The newer elevator is in the background.

Most of the storage would be in the ground pile. One normally doesn't see this much infrastructure for loading a ground pile. Specifically, it has a dump pit and a conveyor over the storage area. I found the conveyor when I was looking for a fall protector with street view. It doesn't have one. That didn't surprise me because the siding is way too small to handle a unit train. But the conveyor did surprise me.
