Steam Loco Coal

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Jim, remember the mine at Williamson where they brought the coal from 
the mine across the river from the Kentucky side in a bucket conveyer to 
the coaling station in the yard? Well, that is a mine from which they 
got coal for their locomotives. Don't know if there were others, but 
they sure used that one.  Jim Nichols
