western WI | Great pictures of the construction, Rusty! I am in disbelief of the short window that these structures were used, and then torn down like yesterdays garbage. And as you mentioned previously, the farmer ends up paying the bill for this destruction via the railroads ripping up the tracks, and the grain companies claiming inefficiencies, therefore, rendering them useless. So, so sad! I had learned in my research of wooden elevators that they were still building them well into the 80's. I believe the last one in Alberta was built in 1988. What the hell happened in that short time span?? | |
