Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ogilvie Grain Elevator / Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator / Private Grain Elevator (Dugald, RM of Springfield)Link to: A wooden grain elevator at Dugald, on the CNR Minaki Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Springfield, was built in 1948 by Ogilvie Flour Mills to replace the original elevator destroyed by a fire spread from the burning wreckage of the Dugald Train Disaster during the night of 1 September 1947 when a westbound passenger train collided with an eastbound train discharging passengers at the Dugald station. Sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1959, a wooden crib annex was built beside the elevator in 1960. The facility was fully renovated in 1985 and three steel tanks were added in 1988. Operated by Pool’s successor Agricore, the facility was closed in October 2000 and sold into private ownership in late 2001. Agents / Buyers
