Grain Elevator T-Shirts

I had been driving across the Colorado Plains on the Grand Army of the Republic Highway when I passed through Hillrose. On that drive, I had become fascinated with the reliance the elevators had on the railroad. Having stopped to take a few images, coincidentally, a freight train did pass. In this image, it's just the nose of the train that is peeking out from beyond the elevator, but it does speak to how their roles serve each other. However, this structure looked old, so I wondered if it was still in use, but the railroad was still there in case it was.

We had been driving across the Nebraska Plains, looking at how the railways supported the agricultural communities along our route. It seemed that in every small town we drove through there were grain elevators there to hold the harvested crops, always next the a railway line. This elevator was in Big Springs, Nebraska. Of all the elevators we saw, this had to be one of the largest. What I love about this image is the combination of the yellow-orange of the elevator and the almost mauve of the sky, and the way this massive structure overlooks the perfectly straight railway tracks.
