Our Grandfathers' Grain Elevators 
Does anyone know the name and location of the elevator which was under construction in Bonner Springs in 1948?
Honestly I have never visited there, and the post came from a newspaper account. I saw a photo on a railroad website of Bonner Springs’ elevator, but it was at a distance, so it was impossible to identify it. I also looked at a google map, and the image from above appears to show an elevator on an inactive rail spur, but again, I cannot tell when it was built. It may be that the old 1948 elevator no longer stands. This will take more research, or a visit, to answer to your question. I will keep looking.
