Woolstock, IA: Grain Elevator and Lost/C&NW Depot

(Satellite)

The evolution of using buildings instead of bins to store grain continues as the buildings get larger.

Significant progress continues at our Woolstock grain project. The concrete walls are now complete, and substantial headway has been made on the grain receiving tower. Currently, crews are installing the roof trusses that will support the fabric roof structure. The project remains on track for completion ahead of the upcoming harvest season.

Dave Yager: Rail service for this? [Unfortunately, there was no answer. The railroad is UP/C&NW.]

[Several comments asked about the capacity, but I didn't see any answers.
I noticed that they are using two worker lifts as cranes to walk the trusses into position.]

They already have some big buildings on the other side of the tracks. So, this is another example of a conveyor over a Class I railroad.

While trying to confirm that the tracks are still owned by UP, I came across:

The 2004 SPV Map labels the route as UP/C&NW. (It also spells the town as Woodstock.) Here is another source that indicates UP still owns it.
