Crossfield, Alberta, Canada. Iconic prairie scene with train and grain elevator. There can't be too many of these left, and it's unclear if this particular one is still being used. Apparently, there were six wooden elevators here in the 1960s alone.

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1827:
"Remained at #Edmonton arranging our baggage and waiting till the #Saskatchewan men were ready, as Mr. Klyne has to accompany us to the mountains with an outfit for #Jasper's House.
"13th. Fine weather. Left Edmonton this afternoon with 20 loaded and 6 saddle horses. We were accompanied by Messrs Harriott and Klyne with their people and outfit. Crossed the Sturgeon River and encamped. Carried the pieces across. #AthabascaPortage #AlbertaHistory #AmWritingBooks
