While I was perusing the Judith Basin County museum in Stanford, MT I ran across this photo of a modern ‘grain train’ next to the elevator in town. Since the elevator is under construction and the fact the modern Stanford town site was created around railroad I’m presuming this ‘grain train’ was pictured in the teens when the GN built the line through town. Who says the unit grain train was a creation of the 1970s?
