Elevators in a Saskatchewan ghost town

Neidpath, Saskatchewan March 6, 2021.

I have been here before and posted it before. There once was a bit of a town here. There is still an abandoned church nearby. People come here to take photos of the elevators. That may soon be coming to an end. I had heard that they suffered wind damage and wanted to see them before someone decides it would be better if they were torn down. One had its top torn off, the other suffered roof damage. One of these days everything will disappear.

Ghost town Saskatchewan

Horizon, Saskatchewan on June 20, 2020, population zero. There are two grain elevators, a church, and a couple of buildings. I inadvertently passed by this place a few years ago and made a promise to myself not to miss it again.

Lepine, Saskatchewan

This place had been on my list for some time. I do not have an actual list, just an informal hodgepodge of notes of places I want to visit. Once there was a post office, stores, and a stockyard here. The rail line was long abandoned and eventually torn up in 1981. Two abandoned grain elevators is what is left of Lepine, Saskatchewan. Photos were taken November 13, 2018.
