Not Marlette. There are at least two elevators in this town. This is the only one in town that still gets rail service...or did, last time I was there in warmer weather.

Where's Fairview?

The photo was taken north and east of Arthur. There's another hint above- only rail-served elevator in a town with at least 2 elevators.

I was thinking of Fairgrove. But if that was the answer you would have recognized I was close to the name. Next I'll try Co-op Elevator in Sebewaing.

Close, and there are two elevators there including one without active rail service, but that's not where this photo was taken...

I thought the other elevator in town ships bagged beans in box cars? Then the huge elevator east of town ships unit trains?

It might. I was under the impression the other one in town (is/was blue) didn't ship by rail. Last time I was up there the siding had covered hoppers in it, but so did most of the sidings up that way that day. I figured if the were shipping, they were shipping from one of the elevators with rail access.
