Newcastle Coal Mines

New Castle Coal Company

This image was provided by Ted McCormack.  The original is an O.V. Hunt picture, and the caption says "No. 48 -- Company Yard Engine and Railroad Cars,  Newcastle Coal Company, Newcastle, AL".

This site is most likely at the No. 2 Mine just north of the tipple and washer.  The building in the background might be a machine shop, or maybe an engine shop and shed.  Click here to see a close-up of No. 4

Apparently this is the same locomotive as the previous picture, but with a different tender.  The lettering has been painted over on this tender, although you can still read it in the close-up view.

Click here to see a close-up of the hopper cars.  The last car is an ACL hopper and is different from the L&N cars.
