Weathered concrete grain elevator silos with operational headhouse and connecting conveyor system in Omaha, Nebraska.

This is a concrete grain elevator complex in Omaha, built with the cylindrical silo design common to grain terminals of the early to mid twentieth century. A headhouse tops the tallest silo, where conveyors once moved grain between storage bins before loading it onto rail cars. The complex no longer operates, but the silos still stand along the rail line that once served it.
