Once again, we see that supplying fertilizer is an important service provided by a co-op. The building that burned is near the top of this image.

The elevator has grown a lot, but it still has its wood elevator core. This former-IC route is still owned by CN, and it is obvious that CN provides rail service.

I think potash is another fertilizer.

I recognize this L-shaped building as a classic IC-depot design. Since it is still close to the tracks and well maintained, I presume that CN now uses it as an office.

The concrete silos peaking above the depot in the above view are part of a feed mill. Feed must be heavy because the trailer has three axles.

Actually, I noticed that the rear axle is not touching the ground. So its purpose is not to reduce road impact but to accommodate soft gravel driveways on farms. The augur is mounted on the front of the trailer, normally they are on the back. This mounting makes sense because the driver doesn't have to backup to the farmer's feed storage, and the driver has a good view of the end of the auger as it approaches the feed bin.

A different street view driver caught three feed trucks. Again, they have extra axles that normally don't touch the road.

You know you are in a rural town when you have to stop for a combine.

The concrete silos for the feed mill would have been a grain elevator along the CGW. That route is now abandoned.
