A 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at the Hubbell Siding of the CNR Miami Subdivision, in the Municipality of Lorne, was built in 1938 by the Canada West Grain Company. Sold to United Grain Growers in July 1948, a crib annex was built beside it in 1953, increasing its total capacity to 60,000 bushels. It was closed on 31 July 1971 and demolished later that year.
