Elevator Friday - Sharples, Alberta

There are some on the internet that refer to Sharples as a ghost town. There never was a settlement here, just a lone elevator by train tracks that once ran through here to Carbon west of here and Drumheller east of here.

About a year ago I saw something posted about this elevator being scheduled to be demolished. I was unable to run out and see it then. The elevator is still standing and I am not sure how true that story is. In case it actually is going to be torn down I thought I would see it before it happens. I saw it within the last week. Not happy with the photos and the one good one I thought I would give it the colour and black and white treatment.
