A 25,000-bushel wooden grain elevator on the railway siding of Pitlochry, on the CPR Miniota Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Hamiota, consisted of an office and powerhouse (the elevator was powered by a Ruston Horsby engine under the office turning a line shaft to the elevator), coal and fertilizer shed, and agent’s house. Built in 1924 by the National Grain Company, it was closed in 1974 and demolished in 1977. The agent’s house was moved to SW10-14-22W.
