Tim, two of the mines that were serviced by those tracks was Knott Coal Company and Wisconcin Coal Company. A little town up there on yellow creek was called Anco. I see tracks there around Vicco still today. Ask your cousin who lives in Sassafras, Yvonne Blair.

The tracks ran right by my grandparents' house in Yellow Creek. I would be interested to know when the trains stopped running to the coal mines. I'm 46 years old and can't really recall if they were still running when I was a kid, though I know for certain the tracks were still there when I was growing up. I would guess the tracks were removed a long time ago. I know the tracks curved around and ran through Vicco, too. If anyone knows which coal mines were serviced by this spur, that would be helpful, as well.
