Zeigler Coal Company was a coal mining company founded by Joseph Leiter along with its company town of Zeigler, Illinois in 1903.[1]
It was controlled by the Zeigler Coal Holding Company, which, in 1998, was purchased by the Addington Brothers AEI Resources. The company produced steam-grade coal, which it primarily sold to electric utilities.
Railroad Operations
The company had registered a reporting mark, ZCCX, with the AAR. At least one piece of rolling stock, originally their NW2 switcher #2-22, remains in full Zeigler Coal Company Paint.
