Yes, the mine across the creek was a limestone quarry as well. Not so sure they are still using it, not been back there in some time. Most mining is now across I-75 near Livingston. The mine over there is on the spur that tunnels under the highway at Buzz and started loading rail cars a few years back. The rail line & tunnel near the video is the old L&N mainline between Cincinnati and Corbin and is somewhat busy, maybe 20 trains per day. I grew up in Corbin but hit the caves near here often
@robbyky THANK YOU very much for the info!!! Is the mine across the creek also a limestone quarry?? We've checked out the CSX tunnel too! Would you happen to know how often CSX actually uses the tunnel? Are you from the area by any chance?

That's not a coal mine. It the old limestone quarry at Mullins Station. Still a neat place. There is an active CSX RR tunnel right next to it.
