2022 - Road Trip - BC-AB-BC - 57

            Leaving Alberta Dinosaur Provincial park we headed toward Red Deer, Alberta.

We stopped at the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site at East Coulee, Alberta.

3 of 5.

The mine wooden coal tipple north side view with the covered coal conveyor line.

The sub-bituminous coal from the Drumheller mining district was mainly used for home heating, cooking and electrical generation. 

The coal was also used to power steam locomotives of Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways on the prairies. 

The flat-lying seams were easier to mine than those found in more mountainous areas, with lower levels of methane gas. 

The coal-mining era lasted from 1911 to 1984, when the Atlas No. 3 and 4 mines closed. 

The Atlas No. 3 Mine structures are preserved and form the basis of the National Historic Site, administered by the Atlas Mine Historical Society.
