So many sites that remain abandoned and mostly forgotten in so many areas of Canada. Just so great to document these historic finds before they are all but gone! Awesome stuff!!

A couple of tidbits of information concerning the first ghost town in this video, Bulwark. The rail line that is mentioned was supposed to run from Edmonton to Empress, Aberta. The two parts of the rail line which did get built ran from Coronation to Youngstown, Alberta (CP Rail Youngstown Subdivision) while the rail line which ran from Coronation to Berkinshaw, Alberta and which also served Bulwark was the CP Rail Lorraine Subdivision.

I don't know if Rivercourse Alberta is still functioning. I went to the two room schoolhouse in 1961 as first grader. I remember participating in the xmas concert at their community hall.

there's ghost towns in Alberta's coal branch as well. Mercoal (might have 1/2 dozen people living in it now). Robb ( about the same amount of people), Mountain Park ( only a cemetery & a couple of chimneys), & Bickerdyke ( might be a few more than a half dozen people there)

Hi Wade, another great history lesson for us. Thank you. A controversial book I was given prior to moving to Canada was (I heard the Owl Call my Name - by Margaret Craven) if you know of it, then you will also know of the trips the elders took to old abandoned First Nation settlements along the Queen Charlottes and the up-cost of BC to Kingcome Village, Dzawada̱ʼenux̱w First Nation. These are places I would like to visit. Along with Kingcome Village, where the story is set. My Spiritual director at my home parish in Miami gave this book to me, before I ever had an inkling that I would later move here. And in it it mentions Montreal (Where I live today) A premonition? Maybe. Controversial as it was, I had no idea how controversial it really was, in today's Canada. I loved that book nonetheless for my own reasons, barring the slant of the Residential School issues. The trips to long abandoned First Nations settlements were very interesting to me, as most only had welcome Totems still standing when this book was set, in the 1960's. Your videos are always filled with lots of great historical value.

That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I would love to be able to visit or see some of those settlements or if anything may still be left. Have a great day!
