Mountain Park, Alberta
Mountain Park is a ghost town in western Alberta, south of Cadomin, at the end of the historic Alberta Coal Branch line of the Canadian National Railway (originally the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway).
Production of steam coal for railroad use by the Mountain Park Coal Co. Ltd. began in 1912 or 1914.〔(Ghost Towns of Alberta )〕〔(Alberta Online Encyclopedia: When Coal Was King )〕 It closed in 1950 in response to rising debt, declining coal markets, and a flood by the McLeod River that washed out the railroad bed. Mining throughout the area ceased as the railroads replaced steam locomotives with diesel, and the town was quickly abandoned. Almost nothing remains of Mountain Park today, except for a restored cemetery and a few remnants of the mine. At its peak, the town was home to about 1,500 residents.〔
Mountain Park is now the site of another coal mining operation, the Cheviot Mine, which opened in 2005 despite environmental opposition. Cheviot is operated by Teck Coal Ltd. and produces coking coal for export to Japanese steel mills. ''Due to current mining activity, as of October 2012, there is only limited access to the Mountain Park cemetery and no access to the townsite.''
