![]() There must have been a rather large tipple where the Phoenix Mine Siding was located. At one time in the area between Morrison and Phoenix, a pile of mining rail and mining wheel sets could be found. There also was a gravity track that fed the mine. The remains of this can be seen on the abandoned section of old Rt. 36 in this area. There is a small bridge that does not go over any stream. This was where the gravity track came off the mountain to dump coal at the tipple. That short piece of track that was left must have been all that remained of the trackage to the larger tipple. Once the construction went through to rebuild Rt. 36, everything was destroyed. (Info from Don Biggs)
