From a guy travelling around south dakota taking photos of many different buildings.
To get the grain to top of the elevator did they use some sort of small buckets attached to a belt ?
Monte Ferbee Rodacker: Yes. It's called a leg.
Sam Walter: This is a wonderful video if you have a few minutes. Shows all the inner workings and whatnot.

The Chicago & North Western used to pass north of the wood feed mill. This looks like a more modern feed mill that is a couple blocks west of the wood one.

And Nutrien Ag Solutions also sells a lot of chemicals.

Grain storage is handled by an elevator that still operates along the former Milwaukee Road tracks. This elevator has a fall protector.

BNSF now owns this Milwaukee Road route.
