Coming into the final stretch

Well.. after 4 trips to the Glenbow archives in Calgary, II think I have gone thru every record they have on elevators in Alberta. Sadly... all they had was records from the Alberta Wheat Pool... but at least it filled in a majority of holes I had in my records.

However... here is a quick list of the towns I am still looking for informatiion on grain eleavtor closings.

Pictures from Creston, BC

I just got these pictures from David Brandenburg, From Edmonton, Alberta.

These are from Creston, British Columbia, and were taken on April 15, 2006. I had no idea these three elevators were still standing.


This is the Alberta Wheat Pool elevator


Here is the UGG elevator


This was an Alberta Wheat Pool elevator which was being used as a seed cleaning palnt. David told me it was about a mile from the other two, and is off rail.

I'd like to thank David for his contribution to my project.
