Abandoned Railway Bridge
Abandoned Railway Bridge
by Adelheid Smitt

The East Coulee Railway and traffic bridge, over the Red Deer River near Drumheller, Alberta, was built to transport coak from the nearby coalmines. The last mine closed down in the 1980s, and ever since the bridge has no longer been used, but it makes for a nice bit of photogenic industrial heritage.

Munții Piule-Iorgovanu, cunoscuți în literatura turistică sub numele de Retezatul Mic, se află situați în partea sudică a Munților Retezat, a căror creastă sudică o continuă către vest, făcând legătura cu Munții Godeanu. Aspectul reliefului detașează acești munți atât de Retezatul aflat la nord, cât și de Godeanu, aflat în vest, motiv esențial pentru care sunt considerați un grup montan aparte. Particularitatea lor rezidă în alcătuirea geologică, ce constă în prezența calcarelor jurasice cu grosimi mari, dispuse monoclinal (înclinat). Aceasta face ca relieful carstic să fie dezvoltat, atât prin forme de suprafață (lapiezuri, doline, chei, sectoare de văi seci), cât și de adâncime (peșteri, avene). Vârfurile cele mai înalte sunt Vârful Piule cu 2.081 m, urmat de Vârful Drăgșanu, cu 2.080 m și Vârful Piatra Iogovanului, cu 2.014 m. Numele masivului provine de la cele două vârfuri mai importante amintite anterior. În morfologia masivului se disting trei sectoare mai importante: Culmea Piule-Pleșa, Zona Albele - Piatra Iorgovanului - Stănuleți și Culmea Drăgșanu. Aceasta din urmă este alcătuită din șisturi cristaline. O altă particularitate care deosebește acești munți de Retezat este extensia mare a suprafețelor de nivelare (în special nivelul Borăscu) și care apropie acești munți mai mult de Godeanu din acest punct de vedere. Această suprafață de nivelare afectează culmea principală, la altitudini de peste 1.800 m, în special Culmea Drăgșanu și zona Albele - Piatra Iorgovanu - Stănuleți.
