Mine: (Satellite, the trail just south of Coal Road used to be the Pennsy industrial spur to this mine)
Cooney Brothers Coal was established in 1955. [manta]
The comments on the posts below imply that Cooney had more than one mine in the vicinity of Cresson. But the only one I was able to find was on the east side of Lilly, PA. I don't know if these photos were in that pit or not.

This shows the industrial spur of the Pennsy Pittsburgh Division to a small yard and the tipple.

This red-roofed building is on a weird angle because it was along the curve of the industrial spur.
