Howe Coal Mine in Streator, Illinois. 1908 Postcard

Robert Weber: Coal built many a community back in the day. Hard to believe that six railroads served Streator at one time.

1. AT&SF

2. Wabash

3. CB&Q

4. GM&O

5. NYC

6. CO&P (Interurban)

Index 5677. It looks like it was on the east side of the downtown. It operated from 1904 to 1908.
