A grain elevator is a tall building that often stands around 400 feet tall that is used to store grain prior to shipping out on a train or by truck. Using a series of augers and chutes, grain, which is dumped through a grate in the floor by the truck that goes through an drive-through opening in the building, is moved into a storage unit. When a truck or train comes to pick up the grain and ship it somewhere else, a spout from above is used to pour the grain into the box of the truck or the car of the train. Then the grain is shipped away.
