[AT] Stationary engine recordings

[Paul Waugh]

No sure about the wooden one, but sure reminds me of all that I saw crossing
southern Sask. and AB.  When a grain elevator would get 2-3 in tall in your
review mirror, that was about when you could see the next one up ahead, 2-3
in tall.  It seems there were not less than 15 Km and not more than 30 km
apart. You can see a long way in the south part of those 2 providences. This
was traveling W/E.

It was good, but making me feel old because I hauled many thousands of 
bushels of grain to local elevators like that one. Although we had the 
hopper cars here . Also never saw that method of moving cars. At one 
time they kept an old tractor handy for that purpose but mostly they had 
a big winch and rope that did the car moving.
I doubt theres any wooden grain elevators like that one still in use 
here in Sask. now.
