| Adam Mathewson posted, cropped Hello, all! I was curious as to if any of you have any information on the LaMarsh No. 1 coal mine and the railroads that serviced it. Pictures would be appreciated, if available. According to my grandfather who lives on the property where the mine previously operated, there are some remaining concrete abutments (Words of my grandpa) on the ridge the railroad operated on somewhere along Cameron Lane. I can take a few pictures of the remaining railroad bridge and mine entrance if anyone would like. Much appreciated, thanks! Edit: I found this picture in this group. Matches up almost perfectly with the trees on my grandpa's property. Roger Kujawa: Justin West The mine was in this hillside. Dropped pin. https://maps.app.goo.gl/som5EQbRVP7w4nGr6?g_st=ic Justin West: Roger, thank you for the info. I think I have tracked down the railroad. It was a Crescent Coal operated railway, right in the midst of the area cited: https://www.labellemodels.com/.../Peoria,%20Hanna%20City... |
