At Pincher Station there are still a couple of old Alberta Wheat Pool elevators, one fairly old. This, however, is a relatively new elevator, purpose built as a seed cleaning plant. It is at the southeast corner of the community, at the intersection of Short and King Streets.
The reason that the elevators are at Pincher Station and not the much larger town of Pincher Creek is that this is where the railway is. This is the southern CPR mainline, running through the southern prairies and the Crowsnest pass and ultimately to Vancouver.
