I haven't found this location, YET :)

But it is not big enough for the DOT facility at Pueblo, CO. see below

The Pueblo test area is a huge complex for testing all sorts of RR stuff.. I guess it's much more than a loop. Someday, I'd like to visit it!

Yup,

I've been looking all over the Dakota's and Montana for a grain elevator with this configuration. But no luck so far.
But then I'm just guessing that it is a grain elevator. :)

WTG, Otto! It's a grain shuttle loader South of Brady, MT. It is my halfway mark when I drive from Great Falls, to Shelby, MT. Almost precisely halfway.

And here's a direct link for it: Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=47.962744,-111.767821&spn=0.020662,0.025191&t=h&z=15&om=1)

Or just a few miles north of Dutton, MT
If you just run the numbers in GE you don't need degrees,
hours or minutes. GE can read directions without those.
