There are two grain elevators in Newdale, Manitoba. One is an ex UGG grain elevator and the other is a former Cargill elevator.
Ex Cargill
The first grain elevator is owned by Delmar Commodities. This elevator has a capacity of 2,750 tonnes. It was originally built by Cargill in 1981 or 1982, and was later sold to the Manitoba Pool, then to a local farmer before being sold to Delmar.
Manitoba Pool
There was a Manitoba Pool elevator further west in Newdale, with a central elevator, a crib annex, and a former Lake of the Woods grain elevator as an annex, as seen below.
The fertilizer shed at the Pool elevator was destroyed in a November 2002 train derailment. The elevator survived but was demolished in the mid-2000s.
Ex UGG
Note that it is a larger elevator with a small elevator beside it, which was used as an annex. The smaller elevator was built in 1925 and is no longer used due to water infiltration. The larger elevator was built in 1983 with a capacity of approximately 34,000 bushels, and includes an integrated 52,000 bushel annex. The two steel bins have a capacity of 17,000 and 40,000 bushels.
This elevator has a capacity of 4,700 tonnes. It is not clear whether this elevator is used or not.
Thanks to Andrew Dalgarno for many details on these elevators.
