This 4,460-tonne elevator at Westroc Siding along the Yellowhead Highway northwest of Westbourne consists of two inter-connected wooden buildings. It was intended to serve the Amaranth, Langruth, and Longburn areas, whose elevators closed in 1984 due to rail line abandonment. The smaller 960-tonne wooden elevator to the northwest was moved from Langruth in late 1983 and renovated the following year. The larger 1,880-tonne wooden annex to the southeast was constructed in 1984. The metal silos were added in 1988. Once operated by Manitoba Pool, the facility was later sold to Delmar Commodities.
