| Partridge, Solar and Boggs Mines These maps show North Star and the Partridge Mine, as well as
Boggs Yard, Solar Mine, Champion waste dump, and Boggs Mine. The coal seam at
Partridge was around 1120 ft MSL, 1150 at Solar and around 1160 at Boggs
Mine. These were all drift mines. The railroad came into the North Star Wye at
about 1020 ft MSL and was at approximately 1135 ft MSL when it rounded the curve
into Boggs Yard. I don't have my Montour track chart with me, so the railroad
elevations are just a guess. Click on the images to get a high resolution view.
