| Radebaugh Mine
(ca.1890's-1901), Located west of Greensburg on the Pennsylvania Railroad mainline, at Radebuagh Station, at the west side entrance to the old Radebaugh Pennsylvania Railroad Tunnel, Radebaugh Station, Hempfield Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA Owners: (ca.1890's-1901), Greensburg Coal Company, Greensburg, PA |
| DESCRIPTION: Very little remains of the Radebaugh Mine, which was located west of Greensburg on the old main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Radebaugh Station, Hempfield Twp., Westmoreland County. . |
| HISTORY: Radebaugh Mine. The mine is a new slope opening into the Pittsburg Seam and is located near Radebaugh Station on the mainline of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was in a favorable condition when visited in 1900.
The main opening is at the west side entrance of the old Radebaugh
railroad tunnel of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The tunnel has been
abandoned, and is supplanted by a new one which straightens the road for
a considerable distance at this point. The tipple erected extends from
bank to bank of the approaching cut to the tunnel. The mine workings
have been connected with the old railroad tunnel by means of an entry which
was driven and connected with a man or shelter hole in the tunnel. This
makes the second opening to this mine, and what was once a busy thoroughfare
for all trains leaving Pittsburg over the main line of the Pennsylvanbia
Railroad for probably the last fifty years, is now a traveling way for
employees. |
