#1 Mine

| Roger Kujawa posted Coal Mining Operation in Carlinville, Illinois 1910s. Paul Meier Looks like it was along the IT. Also looks like an interlocking tower in the left background. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post The interlocking tower indicates that this was mine 69. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post The mine closed in 1917 and then Standard Oil used the shaft to ventilate their mine, which was #187. So it makes sense that the tipple is gone by 1939. But it appears the location of the interlocking tower has changed. I think the above photo is looking East and we see the IC tracks in the foreground. The IT would have been a little further east. Both IC and Chicago & Alton could serve this mine. This old building on a diagonal dates from at least 1939. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSdYVmAd... |
