Greer, ID: Wood Grain Elevator and Old Hopper Cars

(Satellite)

Street View, Jul 2024

Luke Parker posted two images with the comment: "I've noticed that there were a number of old PS-2 hoppers at the mill in Greer.  How did this operation work? Surely these cars were too old for use in interchangeable service. Satellite images indicate that the cars were being moved around up until at least 2016."
Kevin Mumaw: They would shuttle grain to Lewiston for barge service. Since they were not interchanged they could be as old as dirt.
Andy Clem Miller: I have some photos somewhere. Ignoring the CP reporting marks, the collection included CB&Q, NP, BN and I believe there was a GN in the mix.
