We see a lot of those around here--- They come in on unit trains from the east, fill silos for loading on ships at the Port of Kalama and the Port of Longview. I imagine that much is shipped out of the Port of Vancouver as well.
I've never had the opportunity to see these loaded or emptied. It would be interesting to learn more about them. Thanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/05/meet-tommy.html
Grain elevators remind me of a flying vacation we had crossing Canada in our Piper Arrow. We landed at a grass strip in the prairies where they stood tall like beacons leading to the runway. A local canola farmer came over to talk and took us on a driving tour to see his bright yellow flowered crops and the whole town. It ended with Saskatoon berry pie his wife made right there in their home kitchen. Such a great memory. Thanks. - Margy

ReplyDeleteLove the rusty texture in these train cars as well as the industrial look.

It is always encouraging to see the cars waiting to be loaded at the granaries. They are often "taken for granted." Thank you for sharing!
