Montour # 9

The coal seam at No. 9 was at 1,100 feet MSL, which was probably why they put the mine entries underneath Route 980.  They could tunnel upward to the seam and use natural drainage and gravity to bring the coal down to the tipple.  The intersection at Route 980 and North Branch Road looks to be around 1,097 feet MSL.
