Britannia Mine Mill #3

Britannia Mine Mill #3

Famous as the "creepy secret government facility" from the X-Files, the Mill #3 building is the third mill to exist at Britannia Mine (the first was to the right, the second to the left). You can see the tracks at the top that brought in full ore cars to dump their loads and start the refining process. A large mining truck sits at the very front; it wasn't used at Britannia, it came in from a mine outside of Kamloops.
