| Mike Coker posted Mike Coker Chattam and Old Jacksonville RD. Larry Miller III shared Steven Holding All gons under the Tipple Larry Senalik posted Dave Durham posted Found this pic in the Lincoln Library Sangamon Valley Collection, of Panther Creek Coal mine #1. photographer unknown. Larry Miller III shared Larry Senalik: I scanned this picture from a 8x10 negative. I think it was mislabeled. I believe this was Buckley Coal Co. Mine B Bill Edrington: Great picture. Panther Creek No. 1 operated 1918-1932, was closed 1933-1942 during the Depression, then reopened until final closure in 1944. Those C&A gons would seem to place this picture sometime in the ‘20s. Larry Senalik posted Coal being loaded into railroad cars at the Buckley Coal Co. Mine B at Chatham & Old Jacksonville Roads in Springfield Illinois on February 4, 1926 St. Louis, Chicago & St. Paul Railroad Brian Wilcoxon |

| Larry Senalik commented on Dave's post Here's a better picture of the builder's plate |

| [After Larry corrected Dave about the labelling.] Dave commented on his post Very well could be, this pic was grouped in with it; I thought the photographer did an incredible job. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post Monroe Street is on the RoW of the Chicago, Springfield & St. Louis RR. There were two tipples there. 1940 Springfield Quadrangle @ 1:62,500 |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post Buckley Coal was one of the owners of Mine B, so it is index 617. [Directory] |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post They forgot to put 617 on their map, but given that Section 31 is west of 32, I think Mine B is the tipple that was closer to Old Jacksonville Road. [Map] |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post It looks like Owen Marsh Elementary School is built rather close to an old mine dump. Springfield West Quadrangle @ 1:24,000 |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post Both tipples should have existed in this 1939 aerial. I don't know why we don't see more than a little building in the Mine B area. The car loading was over at the Mine A area. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/.../0bhd03048.jpg |
