| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post But I think this tipple was for Mine #1, and it remained active as the prep plant for the other mines. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SVbKJ1yaLLvG7PBt6 1940 aerial photo |
National Road (US-40)
The National Road probably originally used Vandalia & Main Streets and St. Louis Road to go through Collinsville. By 1937, the Belt Highway was built to connect to IL-157 to bypass the downtown congestion. Today US-40 uses I-55 by this town.
