Great job! Looks like the employees just left for the weekend! (Except for the mice, they don't get days off.)

This was cool. 1st time I’ve got to see inside one of these. We had 3 in Redwater AB. They were almost in the middle of town a block from my house. I was a kid thru the 70’s so this video brought back many memories. That wood paneling in the office hit me hard. Lol Thanks for making this.

Brought back memories. I drove grain trucks to the elevator in Saskatchewan in the early 70's. I did not have a drivers license so I had to park the truck outside the elevator door and have someone else drive it in.

My first job was driving grain truck in 1970 at 16 years old, for a farmer near Kindred N.D. to the elevator in Horace. The crop was barley and the farmer's combine had no cab. Times have sure changed! Thanks for the tour Kerry.

Loved this. I worked in my local UGG in 1997 for Grade 10 co-op Ed. 2 years later they built a terminal. I had the same tuna can sample grabber 😂 My scale was a big sliding scale though. And I totally forgot about sifting the samples

We had this type of elevators here in Sweden also. And now it's the same thing. No farmer have the local to drive to. Even the mills are few and centralized. Here in Uppsala we have to tip the crops outdoor on a huge co-op concrete flat on the ground. There the huge entrepreneur driven trucks will fetch it and drive it to shipping bins at harbours or to the mills. We had before transports by small ships here in Uppsala at the huge co-op facility and adjacent the Farmer owned Nordmill and Lantmannen fodder factory was situated at private railroad spur also. Now it's a fancy apartment housing complex at the river Fyris and called 'Industry Town'. It was a lot better before! 😢 Thank you for this great upload // Uppsalahazze ❤

I worked in a Peavey elevator just like this one in north central Montana way back in 1975. The explanation of how these work is spot on. Thank for the memories.

My grandfather built one on his farm and had a pure seed cleaning plant within just north of Vulcan Alberta. Spent many many hours as a young boy to my teenage years working in it and on the farm miss him and the farm dearly. Whenever I'm in the Vulcan area I always stop at the farm (much changed now, but the elevator is still in use) and spend a few minutes in the yard.

I love these Prairie Sentinels. So glad to see them preserved. But I miss seeing the local freights picking up and setting out the box cars used for transport. Guess I'm just old!

You did a fantastic job explaining how the elevator works. The only thing you must have never loaded a box car. The last one I filled would hardly hold a cat. You patched the holes with cardboard that the RR gave you. Great job explaining 😊🎉

I agree with your boxcar statement, it took as long to patch them up as it did to load them. 😂 At the elevators I worked at we loaded refrigerator semi trucks with wheat too. Some of those trucks were full of holes as well. 😂

You know what Leduc is right? It’s French for John Wayne. My great grandfather was an elevator manager in Granum in the fifties. I remember going to watch the last one come down in the early nineties. It’s good to see a few still in use by local farmers in other towns. But there’s not many around anymore for sure.

Great video and explanation of what is in those big wood boxes! Hard to believe that with all the grain from so many farms that the RR couldn't make money hauling it. Where did the farmers go to hang out after closing? The coffee shop at the converted Cash Store?
