The wood elevator is one of the three rail-served elevators.
The first three photos below are of the above elevator. I could not find the elevator for the fourth photo.

This is the next elevator to the east, Minn-Kota.
It also has a fall protector. The in the right background is the Red River Grain Elevator.
I'm using a satellite image instead of a street view for Red River Grain because it is so big and because I want to show the loop of track that can efficiently load unit trains.
Sunrich Products in the upper-left corner producest sunflower products.
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Milwaukee used to serve this town.

BNSF kept the GN spokes going North and Southeast.
Red River Valley & Western (RRVW) took the GN spoke going Northwest and connected the western spoke of Northern Pacific to its track. Popups on the map shows that BNSF owns the industrial tracks on the right side. NP to the East and Milwaukee have been abandoned.
I think RRVW now uses the former GN railyard. The street view at the top of these notes shows four of their locomotives.
The GN roundhouse is extant.
I wonder what they used to process here.
