The Reliance Tipple in Sweetwater County
(Library of Congress)
The Reliance Tipple in Sweetwater County, north of Rock Springs, one of two coal tipples, sorting stations associated with coal production at Reliance, Wyoming. The first, wooden tipple was built in 1910 and used until 1936. The perishable portions of that earlier tipple have disappeared, leaving only the sandstone foundations and some artifacts buried in the tailings pile. This second tipple was built in 1936 when Reliance Mine No. 7 was opened. The new tipple was built more durably of concrete and steel. (Library of Congress)
