The railroad was the Chicago and Illinois Midland (C&IM).
Jim Yasinski posted three photos with the comment:
Peabody #8 Coal Mine at Tovey, Illinois.
The C&IM called this area Humphrey.
My dad was an electrician at the mine until it closed in 1954.
Photos of a dynamite box my dad had brought home one day.
Jack Kelly: In the Midlands.. Taylorville, Kincaid, Bulpitt, Tovey… Rough times in the 30’s with the competing unions…UMWA & PMWA
