Is this at the elevator in Heron Lake (from the map, looks like it might be)? I photographed the same unit out there in 2010,

The elevator is in Miloma, just south of Heron Lake.

Awesome. I also notice a bit of a panel line where the windows were plated over. Thank goodness... because mine definitely has one.

So typical Conrail, dead on a siding?
Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

It's used to switch out the elevator. Here's my shot from 2010 (after slamming on the breaks, waking up my wife who thought we hit something):
