It serviced trains and vehicles crossing the Red Deer River and provided access and service to two mines. Both mines were left to rot when the coal-mining industry dried up but the Atlas has been turned into an historical site.
The bridge is made with impressive, strong wooden beams, although they’re rotting away and I fear the bridge’s days are numbered.
