Aerial view of boxcars loading at wooden grain elevator

Collection elevator

This small collection elevator near Bayneville, Kans., typical of the thousands of wooden country elevators that were once common across the Midwest and West, is loading a boxcar, while two trucks wait with incoming wheat at the start of the grain rush in June 1952. The small elevator isn’t as wide as the 40-foot car it’s loading. Jeff Wilson collection
