Twin Seam Mining Company
The Twin Seam Mining Company served various coal pits near Kellerman, Al, east of Birmingham.
The company employed several hard-working Shay locomotives to haul loaded coal hoppers up a grade for mainline interchange.
Coal trucks brought the coal to the railroad loading facility.
Sometime in the early 1960s, a wooden trestle gave way underneath one of the locomotives and the rail operation and its rugged Shays were subsequently scrapped.
