902B 7 AveA small beautiful town also has its unique culture and history.
They call it the Canmore “Engine” Bridge. Here in a thoroughly spectacular setting, it spans the mighty Bow River and while used by pedestrians and cyclists today, it used to support a railway line that once served Canmore’s coal mine. Yes, they mined that stuff here – and in fact many of the newer residential areas are above the old underground workings. Today the town is more known as an outdoor recreation mecca with few fully aware of its gritty industrial past. The bridge is one of the last things left from those days.
