AMSTERDAM-SALINEVILLE COALFIELD
Coal mining village of Amsterdam, namesake of this coalfield.
This was the "O.P. Mine" and associated company housing that was at the northern
end of Amsterdam. The colliery is to the right.
Remaining company houses from the O.P. mine.
These foundations and an abandoned rail spur are the only remnants of the Wolf Run Coal Company's coal mine at Wolf Run, Ohio, which opened in 1905.
The tipple, power house, and bath house at Wolf Run as they looked in 1921. By this time the Number 6A (Lower Freeport) coal mine at Wolf Run
was named Elizabeth and the operator was the Warner Collieries Company.

All Saints Orthodox Church can still be found in Wolf Run, Ohio.
Ruins of the Jessie Mine near East Springfield, which was opened into at least the 1970s.
A shop building and part of a truck mine tipple at the Jessie Mine remains.
This tipple for loading trucks, with house coal perhaps, is extant at the site of the Jessie Mine. It may have
been connected by conveyor to a larger cleaning plant.
Crumbling shop buildings remain from the Jessie Mine between East Springfield and Wolf Run, OH.
Coal camp houses on the north end of Bergholz, Ohio may have been for the Eagle Mine.
This small rail yard remains at Bergholz.
One of the last coal mining facilities in this coalfield was the prep plant of the Sterling Mining Corporation between Bergholz and Salineville. It seemed that
there was a Sterling Mine there for 70 or 80 years.
