Along The Way

Alberta Aged
Located in the south west corner of Alberta is the former village of Raley, home to the province’s oldest grain elevator.
Built in 1905, this Alberta Pacific grain elevator sits along an abandoned rail line that ran from Stirling to Cardston.
Looking worse for wear I doubt many travelers passing by realize the significance of this old weather beaten elevator.
Not only is it the oldest elevator remaining in the province, it’s also one of a few left standing in the province that are still in Alberta Pacific paint.
Another that wears Alberta Pacific paint is the long abandoned grain elevator located in the ghost town of Dorothy east of Drumheller, one that I have photographed many times.
I shot a number of photographs on this day, and will post one or two others soon.
Oh, yes that is Chief Mountain seen just to the right of the elevator, and easily seen from most everywhere in southern Alberta.
