This was the guided tour of the Mine, over years of vandalism they closed it off so you can't roam around alone.  this history of Nordegg dates back to 1911 when a small camp was established and coal production started in 1912.    Out of 5 coal seams only 2 were mined, No 2 and No 3 mine,  they averaged 7.75 feet and 15.92 feet thick respectively.  they were separated by about 123 feet of rock. they dipped at an angle of 12 degrees and were worked by underground room and pillar methods.  Production peaked at 500000 tons in 1923. 
  on Oct 31, 1941 a large underground explosion in the No3 mine killed 29 miners,  the mine operated until 1955 due to the decrease in coal,  the reserves at Nordegg had not been exhausted
