C&EI had an industrial spur to the mine, and the Coal Belt RR went past the tipple.
1925 Marion and 1909 West Frankfort Quads @ 62,500

1938 aerial photo with Cedar Grove Road along the bottom and IL-37 along the right side.
It looks like the tiple had been torn down by 1938, but the tracks were still intact.
