A wooden grain elevator at the siding of Coatstone, on the now-abandoned CNR Wakopa Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Deloraine-Winchester, was built by United Grain Growers in 1927. It closed due to railway abandonment in July 1961, while still full of grain, and was sold in June 1962. It has since been removed from the site.
