A wooden grain elevator at Netley Siding, on the CPR Winnipeg Beach Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews, was built in 1948 by Manitoba Pool Elevators. Renovated between February and August 1986, it was reopened at a ceremony on 15 August 1986. Closed by Agricore on 31 October 2000, the elevator was sold to a local producer and used for private grain storage until 2016 when it was purchased by Scoular Canada.
