A diary has been discovered that describes the heist of a money train from the CPR. It appears THIS was the funding that paid for the original development of Drumheller! Do YOU have what it takes to solve the clues and determine who were the guilty parties? It is well documented that Drumheller was built through the support of wealthy local businessmen, however rumours have circulated for years about the true origin of the town's funding. But now, a diary has been discovered that describes a secret meeting about the heist of a money train from the CPR, and it appears THIS was the funding that paid for new development in the town!
