Railroad grain terminal in Hope, Minnesota. A grain elevator or grain terminal is a facility designed to stockpile or store grain. In the grain trade, the term "grain elevator" also describes a tower containing a bucket elevator or a pneumatic conveyor, which scoops up grain from a lower level and deposits it in a silo or other storage facility.
The grain elevator rises to 300 feet (91 meters). The silo was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1923–1924, with a capacity of 3.8 million bushels (134 thousand m 3 ). [ 4 ] In 2009 it had been converted from a grain elevator to a condominium tower containing 24 floors and 228 condominiums by Turner Development Group and architect ...

The elevator stayed perfectly intact and the crowd began cheering. [5] Haglin went on to increase the height of the elevator to 125 feet (38 m) for a few further experiments.
