Pratt Coal Mines
Slope Number 5
In the 1920's TCI apparently made improvements at Pratt Slope No. 5, as well as other sites. The Birmingham Library Archives has a set of photos made by TCI which include improvements made at Slope No. 5. These are dated April, 1925. One of the map views indicates daily output at 600 tons, or twelve 50-ton carloads per day. What a great train to model...
