hello I found this while browsing around woo woo woo - Branchline HO 689 Laser Art Structure Kits Grain Elevator 4 x 4-1/2 x 6-1/2" I model from 2002-2009 would any wooden grain elevators have still been around in the pacific northwest? ones like this? thanks! jimmy
Well, this site has some photos of wood grain elevators from October 2008 from Alberta Canada. So I would think it is plausable. Funny, I was wondering aobut this sort of thing about Minnesota The only ones I have seen myself are no longer rail served and in operation (Royalton Minnesota comes to mind near Saint Cloud Minnesota). Here is the link to the website: dawsoncreek_-021 BC Rail Fort St. John Subdivision
BNSF Grain Elevator Directory I found this BNSF Grain Elevator Directory. Pretty cool site. It looks like they have several hundred of them listed, most with pictures.
I forgot that BNSF had that site. I have used this before looking for large grain elevators. This one in Washington looks like a woody to me....I may be wrong http://www.bnsf.com/markets/agricultural/elevator/bin3/ele1543.html
Still standing? Yes. In service, that is another question. I believe a very few, scattered around. Most are newer or updated. Check out this site: http://www.country-grain-elevator-historical-society.org/about.html Boxcab E50
