Note that there are two tipples marked for Index 608. I can't find evidence of the eastern one on a 1938 aerial photo.

Big Four also served O'Gara Coal Mine #12 up in Muddy, IL and had a spur going West on the north side of Harrisburg so they had a railyard between the Middle Fork Saline River and Harrisburg.

| Above aerial at photo resolution Dennis DeBruler commented on a post Coal mining in the area was obviously dwindling because #4 and #3 in Harrisburg closed in 1918 and 1937, respectively. And #12 in Muddy closed in 1938. |
