Elizabeth Mine & Coke Works as it appeared many years after the mine was closed.  Five coal company houses remain along the West Penn Trolley line to Youngstown.  The remains of the trolley bridge is still across Loyalhanna Creek.  The line of white dots, top of picture, are the remains of the bee-hive coke ovens of the Eliaabeth Coke Works.  Loyalhanna Creek runs trought the center of the picture.
