Calgary area (canada)... or there was.. I can check it out closer.. It was
built  quite a few years ago, and it apparently worked ok, for a while.. It
did eventually sink, then was just used as a display.  The person that I
talked to a few years ago didnt know much more about it, and I never did
enquire any further.. Ill see what I can dig up about it
