So it is actually on the south side of Springfield.

North Street used to be the Wabash Railroad, and it was just south of the Wabash RR. The C&A had an industrial spur that also served the mine. 1939 aerial photo

The southbound lane of Walnut Street used to be the RoW of Illinois Traction, and the tipple was just south of where the IT curved to go north. 1907 Springfield Quad @ 62,500
