Image of coal mine #4 Engine House in Glen Carbon, Illinois. |
Madison Coal Corporation No. 4 Mine Engine House still stands and is occupied as a private dwelling located on a private drive on right side of Meridian Hills just after the railroad track crossing about a third of a mile north of the covered bridge. The mine was sunk circa 1892, but mining operations were abandoned just after the turn of the century due to water seepage. |
