100 Ghosts: An Exposition of Rural Grain Elevators - Volume 1
One Hundred Ghosts is a photographic exposition of rural grain elevators with a focus on wood elevators of both frame and crib construction. The photographs are organized around specific railroad branch lines. It is a coffee-table book with contemporary photographs. But, given how the material is organized, the book elicits the key trends between elevator construction and CO-OPs and the associated railroad lines. As such, it is a great reference for modelers.
