The Tracy Woodframe Grain Elevator was a grain elevator in Muncy, Oklahoma. The elevator was built in 1931 along the Beaver, Mead & Englewood Railroad, the same year Tracy was founded. The elevator operated continuously from its opening until around 1983, outlasting the railroad [2] only a mere 10 years after the last train left eastbound in 1972.[3] On May 13, 1983, the elevator was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The elevator has fallen down. All that remains is a scalehouse that was possibly remnant of a depot for the railroad.
