The Terex Titan is the world’s largest tandem axle dump truck, a legacy of Sparwood’s mining heritage. It was brought to Sparwood on 8 rail flat cars, in 1978, to work the mines. Due to low cost efficiency, it was retired in 1990, but you can still marvel at its massiveness near the Sparwood Visitor Centre. East of Sparwood, visit the Elkview Mine or in Elkford, the Fording River & Greenhills Coal Mines to tour operations behind a working open pit coal mine, & learn about period & modern day coal mining processes.
