Newcastle Coal Mines

No. 2 Mine Site

This image is an O.V. Hunt picture provided by Ted McCormack.

This is a view of the mine entrance at No. 2, located west of the mine plant, so this image is looking generally west.

Look for 2 hotspots on the image to see more details -- be sure to get the "enlarge" button in the new window.

Note the cable in the lower right corner -- this is connected to the hoist house, some distance away.  The cable goes through the tipple, and on pulleys mounted on elevated supports over to the hoist house.
