Loading a grain box car/Grain Elevator

[Russ Bellinis]

I was surprised. I have always heard that the wooden grain elevator disappeared shortly after WW1 to be replaced first by sheet metal elevators and later by the concrete type. That pickup in the parking lot in the opening scene is a Chevy or GMC built between 1973 & 1987, unless the Canadian models might have lasted even longer with that body style. I didn't realize that they were still using box cars for grain instead of covered hoppers that late.
