Loading a Shuttle Train at a Montana Grain Elevator - Aerial Reel

A client had sent me to the UGC Grain Elevator in Moccasin, Montana to film a shuttle train loading procedure. Here's a short reel on the process of moving wheat at impressively high volumes and getting a shuttle ready to head out to the Pacific Northwest, where the wheat will be exported to foreign buyers.

Thank you for letting us know how the grain is handled in Montana I didn’t realize they would reject a load if it had buckwheat in it and also all of it goes overseas thank you

Really enjoyed your video. This all the behind-the-scenes stuff that we consumers know nothing about and take for granted. Thank you and Happy New Year.

new. Interesting. Good video. Lots of folks don't take the time to get off the highway and see things like this.

Great video, thank you! Very informative and really nice visuals! I'm amazed how narrow the hopper openings are on top. Good to see the safety line in place too!

Thank you very much. I need to build a module for our modular layout at the railway museum and a grain facility is a good idea. Thanks for sharing this video.

Music is epic.

[@dbcooper7164]

Not sure who does more loads, Gain, Tide or Cheer?? This Montanan Gain elevator is large but the Tide and Cheer elevators may be bigger, not sure. Don't forget about the fabric softeners and the delivery side.

[@AgriStudios]

It took me five hours to fix the typo in the title, and thus understand your comment 😂

[@dbcooper7164]

@@AgriStudios Enjoy the videos. Sometimes it's good to inject a little humor on the side. Farmers have a tough enough job, fighting mother nature and uncle sam. Humor is good medicine.

Looks like a model train layout at 0:07

[@R00RAL]

You basically have the same set up as we do in Australia. Only exception is pneumatic doors on the cars top & bottom. Save getting up there.

Are those concrete silos new?

[@9501599]

How do they get on in wet weather??😊

[@uprailman]

It seems that this job is seasonal for sure. Curious about how many cars are loaded from a full silo and about average amount of cars shipped in a season, winter/ summer crops.

[@nicholaspark4165]

Yeah a lot of these loaded BNSF grain trains that start in the Great Plains pass through where I live in Western Washington state; can confirm that there've been a heck ton of them passing recently

[@chrisanderson2487]

Why is buckwheat a Nono?

[@beeble2003]

Because the buyers don't want it.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

in Asian Countries Buckwheat allergies are incredibly common, so if you want to export it you don't want buckwheat

[@thotparraka6690]

I take all trains related.

[@scottsmith7051]

[@richardspitzer3336]

How long it takes to load one car?

[@johnheitke7617]

Why are they so concerned about buckwheat contamination?

[@AgriStudios]

Basically some foreign buyers won’t tolerate it. This video originally aired on Montana Wheat & Barley Committee’s social media and they wanted to specifically address Montana elevators’ efforts to eliminate buckwheat.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

in Asian Countries Buckwheat allergy rates are incredibly high (like Peanut allergy rates over here)

What is wrong with buckwheat?

I have heard that there places in Montana that the wheat crop is very poor due to dry conditions . Is this true ?

[@montanaf2286]

Yes

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954!

[@imho2278]

Yes they do. I got 2 honks and a wave from the grain train driver as I filmed the train tonight.
