Two images were provided in the comments, but Leland Dean Fultz indicated that these two images are of the Northern Pacific Parkland Yard. Google Maps labels the yard as BNSF Yardley, so evidently the name of this yard was changed.
Leland Dean Fultz posted This is an aerial photo taken by the military in 1931 of the Great Northern Railroad Hillyard Yard and Roundhouse. There is absolutely nothing left of the Yard and Roundhouse. Just North of Spokane, Washington |

Yardley not only still has its turntable, but it also appears it has some of its old backshop buildings.

I normally don't bother with "sheet-metal" photos, but the grain elevator caught my eye.

While looking for the grain elevator, it is obvious that they also handle intermodal traffic here.

Arctic Gaming must have posted his photo to the wrong location because the only silos I could find were the ones in the middle background of the above view. It is obviously a feed mill complete with a Purina feed truck.

But it appears that a lot of the feed is packaged for shipment.

They do have limited rail service. I presume that is for receiving some of the supplements. They even have their own "critter" to spot the hopper cars.

Or is this mill big enough to ship feed by rail? It looks like the left track is for receiving and the right track is for shipping.
Steve Powell, Dec 2016 |
An older view shows that they can also ship a lot of feed in bulk trucks.
