A wooden grain elevator at Dauphin on the CNR Gladstone Subdivision was built by Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1953. Known as “Pool C,” the facility was renovated extensively through 1978 and re-opened officially on 6 December 1978. Operated by Pool successors Agricore (1998-2001) and Agricore United (2001-2003), the facility was closed in 2003 as the Pool A elevator was enlarged. It was demolished sometime after August 2004.
