Blairmore Cole Tipple


Looking like a Greek ruin, this was in fact a long abandoned coal tipple in the Crows Nest Pass in southern Alberta> this area continues to ship coal in 100 car long trains to the west coast and onto Japan and other points.

Nice photo!
I have a slight correction for you though.
It's actually the Mowhawk Tipple, and it's part of the old Hillcrest Mine. :)

Here's my visit:
