We took a trip to Walker County, about 30 minutes north of Birmingham, to track down some early 1900 coal mines. This wilderness was very overgrown, but following the elevated tramway we were able to locate 8 abandoned mines, with one being open. This video will show you the inside of the mine, as well as the remains of an old bridge that serviced the mines.
