| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post This shows that the Wabash spur used to go all the way to the mine. Mine #4 should have been labelled #14. 1915 Gillespie Quad @ 62,500 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post This is one of two sources that indicate that #4 should have been #14. The rectangle is the mine's shaft. The circle is an air shaft. https://wikiimage.isgs.illinois.edu/ilmines/webfiles/topo-mines/gillespie-south.pdf |

The coal mine was between the NS/Wabash and Aban/C&NW/Litchfield & Madison railroads. But it looks like it was served only by the Wabash. Most of these roads in 1939 are now gone. Specifically, Route 66 now uses the abandoned L&M right of way. And today's Kenworth Lane used to go further West along the south side of the mine.
