I look forward to these coal mine videos every Sunday morning.

Thanks, the weather is putting a damper on getting more explored.

That is one half of a poured babbit bearing.

Just at s glance, I didn't see a road or incline plane from them to a railroad or other infrastructure. Could that pulley and shaft have been for an aerial ropeway with buckets? Do you have access to historic aerial photos for that area?

[@WebsterHighlanders]

I believe it was an aerial tram with buckets.
