Pacific Grain Elevators (now Viterra) Vancouver...

That's it!  At a very brisk walk, it takes 1 1/2 hours to walk the entire facility, which he had to do twice in an eight hour shift.  Went along once and can confirm 1 1/2 hour walk-through.

Thanks, nice pics.  



Slight similarity (on a larger scale) to a locale about a half hour from me which is a semi-rural junction for railroad, truck, and Mississippi River traffic.  Mostly agricultural products and still a bit of soft coal.

That job allowed him to be the sole breadwinner for the family.  Even after his death, my Grandmother still received a pension from them, although at a reduced rate.



Sadly, jobs like this are becoming a thing of the past, it seems.

It was actually an amateur photographer that walked up to my Grandfather, requesting access to take them!  She did send him copies (keeping her word), which I simply scanned...

I worked there briefly as a security guard.



I remember that room, that if you didn't bend down y'ad hit yer head on the machinery.



I cuffed my head on it a couple of times though i wore a workers helmut.



"Clunk!" and the plastic hard hat made this thud noise.



I was employed by Pinkerton's



I worked the evening shift until they planned to put me on graveyard.



So I quit because the company misled said initially there wouldn't be any graveyard times.

What you see here isn't actually a 'room.'  There are literally miles of this inside that grain elevator, and there is enough clearance to walk through them all without bumping your head!



I'm not saying you weren't a security guard there (they may have outsourced security since my Grandfathers time there), but it does seem you may not be quite that familiar with the insides of a large grain elevator such as PGE (now Viterra)...

Joe's fake jobs and lies busted yet again. ac_toofunny

Sadly, yes.



Even though I did not take these particular shots personally, I have walked through that entire terminal from front to back, and top to bottom.



Joe should have considered this before posting...

Joe doesn't do any research before he posts his lies.
