The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past. Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.
Here is this week's question:
In 1907, the coal that had been mined at this tipple was brought here on what were called dingy tracks.
The coal was weighed and loaded into freight cars to be transported on the railroad for sale.
What was this part of the local coal company called, and where was it located?
Give us your guess in the comments section below. We will reveal the answer on Monday.
