Bender Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Grain Elevator
There was a time when these wooden structures dominated the landscape in the prairies. They are now few and far between. The CP rail line which once ran by was removed in 1963 I believe. The train that ran down this line was a steam locomotive known as the "Peanut". The town was Bender.

I'm glad you showed me the inside of that grain elevator. I'd be afraid to go up in one - they all seem to be falling down but I love the things you saw inside!
