Small-town elevators serve as important collection and shipping points for surrounding farms. Grain arrives by truck for unloading and storage before being shipped by rail. Depending on the era being modeled, the Prairie Co-Op Elevator can serve grain-door boxcars or covered hoppers, making it suitable for layouts ranging from the late steam era through modern operations.
