(...) For a few years I lived in Vulcan, which held the record for the most wooden grain elevators (11?) lined up along the railroad tracks. Lots of family friends were grain farmers who delivered to them, so, I've been in at least one of them. The (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
