Chris--these are AWESOME photos.

I don't know that I have ever seen such a nice collection of images that illustrate the mine entry, stored material and utilities. Across eras, even. Also, it is great to see the photo of the guys dumping the cars into the bin.

I bet the horse was happy to go to pasture when the locomotive arrived. Note the chain to transfer the load of the cars to the horses shoulder.

When Ragg's came out with the outbuildings for the Huykill, I got both sets, and these look very much like the humble buildings adjacent to the adit entry. The doors are a nice detail, too.

I also forgot to add in my first post, that is some trestle over the road! Not sure I would want to push a car full of waste rock across that!
