It's my understanding that at one time there were 14 grain elevators operating in Chicago.

They were both huge storage facility but very capable of handling grain via truck, rail, barge, lakers, and salty's. Both facility still had the box car unloaders in place but were out of service. Good times!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793301426990935889noreply@blogger.com
