Day 40:

A disappearing sight from the prairies, the old style grain elevator. These are now being replaced my enormous concrete monstrosities that can fill a grain car five times faster and have ten times the capacity. Unfortunately, this means that you need less elevators and when a town loses it's elevator the town dies. Isn't progress grand?
