Inglis Elevators Tour - Travels with Bill

See the national historic site at Inglis Manitoba as we tour these prairie giants. This surviving row of elevators is fully intact and in nearly original condition. With the constant threat of the railroad being abandoned the grain companies didn't invest in upgrades. That means you see these elevagtors as they were years ago.
Come inside the interpretive centre, and tour a fully intact elevator as well. See you inside!

Very interesting, Bill! Although I have been in a grain elevator a couple time, I never had a tour & I don't remember ever seeing any of what you showed us, so thank you! This looks like something I need to put on my list of places to visit!

My brother built that model back in 2000. I worked there in 2002.

Very cool! What kind of upgrades would be needed to use grain cars over boxcars?

[@davidlisowski5245]

Heavier rail, higher loading spout are the main factors.
