Indiana & Illinois Coal Mines

[J484fan]

I have been busy with a train game called Yard Duty. Reason for not being on much of late. I am doing research to find more areas in the Norfolk Southern System to add as maps for the game. Currently I am trying to find the Coal Mines that they service in IN & ILL. As any of you who have Google Earth knows, it is not very helpful in the exact location department. I have found a few I think, came across some others, but don't know which is which. If anyone knows these locals could you give me a hand? Thanks in advance for any help.

I knew there was coal in them thar hills, but had no idea it was that much. Learn something new every day.

Suggestion: Contact one of the miners unions. They will share such info.
