I ran into a guy taking pictures of a ship being towed out of the Buffalo river,we swapped some cool spots for some shoots and I asked about the grain elevators. Told me its a pretty easy walk through as long as the security cameras see the cameras in hand they never bothered hi. He did talk about how the place was splattered with paintballs from the past. I know of a back entrance into a old section of the terminal with a tunnel that runs the entire length of the yard and under the terminal its self . But you can only get down there during the middle of winter since the tunnel usually has 4 feet of water in it. ---
