Interesting grain elevator and location plus observations on research

If you are looking for prototypes to model or emulate, Google maps satellite and street views come in handy. As many know, the street view is not necessarily going to give you the same thing as the "satellite" (often flyover) image. In many places, the satellite image is updated every several years. However, the street view may a) not exist at all, or b) be as many as 13 years out of date and very poor quality imagery. If you're following a rail line that parallels a road (highway) you may come upon industries that you're interested in.
