The first Manitoba Pool elevator at Goodlands, on the CPR Lyleton Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Brenda-Waskada, was built in 1928 and renovated in 1971. Eleven years later, the Pool A elevator at Deloraine (built in 1949) and a crib annex from the elevator at the siding of Dalny were moved to its west side. Three steel tanks replaced the original elevator in 1985. The railway line was abandoned in 1996 and the elevator was closed in 2000. It is now used for private grain storage.
