&gt; &gt; P&amp;WV did indeed at one time own the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company.<br>
&gt; &gt; However, even though the coal outfit was separately incorporated,<br>
&gt; &gt; there<br>
&gt; was<br>
&gt; &gt; an issue with the Commodities Clause of the Interstate Commerce Act<br>
&gt; (added<br>
&gt; &gt; as part of the Hepburn Act of 1906), and this led to government<br>
&gt; &gt; pressure<br>
&gt; to<br>
&gt; &gt; sell the coal company, which the P&amp;WV did in 1924.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Mine 7 was shown as being variously in Horning or Large, Pa., in<br>
&gt; Jefferson<br>
&gt; &gt; Twp.  USGS Co-ordinates are given as:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;       40.3375696 -79.9914409 402015N 0795929W<br>
&gt; &gt;       Glassport<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; This is in the present day borough of Jefferson Hills.  Large is a<br>
&gt; &gt; part<br>
&gt; of<br>
&gt; &gt; Jefferson Hills.  This is a few miles southeast of Washington Jct.<br>
&gt; &gt; Mine<br>
&gt; #7<br>
&gt; &gt; was served by the West Side Belt RR, a P&amp;WV subsidiary, at their M.P 18.<br>
&gt; &gt;  This was about 2 1/2 miles from the point where the West Side<br>
&gt; &gt; crossed<br>
&gt; over<br>
&gt; &gt; the PRR Peters Creek branch.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I do not think that the reference is to Mine #7.  There were several<br>
&gt; &gt; PTCC mines with lower numbers in Castle Shannon or vicinity,<br>
&gt; &gt; however.  And I seem to recall a stop on the Charleroi line just south of Washington Jct.<br>
&gt; &gt; with a mine s name.<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; This link leads to an abandoned mining patch story in the Pittsburgh<br>
&gt; Press<br>
&gt; &gt; (&quot;50 Heath Law Violations .&quot;) in the postwar period at Castle Shannon.<br>
&gt; &gt; Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company sounds like a subsidiary of<br>
&gt; &gt; Wabash-Pittsburgh Terminal Railroad, i.e. the Pittsburgh and West<br>
&gt; Virginia.<br>
&gt; &gt;   The earlier maps show they did own Mine 7 down at Washington Junction.<br>
&gt; &gt;  However, I have no clue that it was in Castle Shannon borough in<br>
&gt; &gt; 1947<br>
&gt; it<br>
&gt; &gt; was not 40 years earlier.<br>
