The Bausman mine was a nineteenth century coal mine in the Pittsburgh area. The mine was started in 1844 by Frederick Bausman, and ran underground from 12th Street in Birmingham, Pennsylvania (today South Side (Pittsburgh)) to Spiketown. Coal from other mines in Spiketown was transferred through this mine using a steam locomotive. The rhinoceros was an early steam locomotive, used in the Bausman mine.
Bausman Mine is an abandoned coal mine located near the town of Bausman, Pennsylvania. It was once the largest coal mine in the area, with a peak production of over 1,000 tons of coal per day. The mine was opened in 1866 and operated until its closure in 1945. The mine was owned and operated by the Bausman Coal Company.
The mine was located in a rural area and was surrounded by a number of small towns and villages. The mine had two mine shafts, the Bausman Shaft and the North Shaft, both of which were connected to the surface by a series of tunnels. The mine was equipped with a variety of equipment, including a steam engine, hoists, and a ventilation system.
The coal produced at Bausman Mine was of high quality and was used for a variety of purposes. It was used to fuel steam locomotives, generate electricity, and to produce coke. The mine also produced a variety of other minerals, including iron ore, limestone, and clay.
The mine was closed in 1945 due to economic reasons. The mine was abandoned and the buildings and equipment were left to decay. Today, the site of the mine is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The mine is also a reminder of the area’s coal mining history.
