A 25,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Angusville, on the CNR Rossburn Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West, was built around 1910 by the National Elevator Company. Expanded to 50,000 bushels in 1921, it was destroyed by fire on 13 April 1934 and rebuilt the same year. Merged into National Grain in 1940, it was further expanded to 74,000 bushels in 1954. Sold to Cargill Grain in 1975, it was re-sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1976. The elevator was later closed and removed from the site.
