Galva, IA: Two Wood Grain Elevators

(Satellite)

The silos and buildings on the right side of the former C&NW right-of-way probably store various chemicals for spreading on fields. There appears to be a feed truck on this side of the wood grain elevator.

Hopefully, the more modern grain elevator is extant.

It was still standing in Jul 2025, https://maps.app.goo.gl/FyrR5HyiGyqsdZc88.

I was not aware of the Hubbard animal feed company.

I saved the satellite image since this elevator will be disappearing.
