Macoupin C: Carlinville, IL: Standard Oil Co. Standard B Coal Mine, #1


Standard Oil bought Carlinville Coal Mine #1 to use as an air shaft.

Paul Meier: If it is the one I think, it was just off the IT. Standard Oil also had a mine at Standard City in Macoupin Co. There were still some structures at that site there when I worked in Carlinville in '74-5.

I'm glad you specified that it was Standard Oil. Otherwise, I would have assumed Index 69 instead of 187.

Would the Chicago & Alton allow Illinois Traction to cross their tracks to serve that mine?
