Continue North on KY11 just past the Clay county 6 mile marker. The tracks cross over Collins Fork and come within a few feet of the road as it curves uphill to the left. The road will be a good 40 feet above track level with a wide concrete shoulder littered with coal. There is a gravel road to the right as the road drops back down grade. Turning on this road is the site of the now removed Rocket Tipple.
Nothing is left now except for the scale house and lots of scrap from the loader.
The rusting Kentucky Gem Tipple had rapid loading capibilities and sits over a still in place 72 car capacity Joann siding. Turning right and crossing the small bridge just before passing this site, will take you over the tracks and in behind the tipple for a better view. This plant is now owned and operated by Irkle-Randies Corporation and is very hard to see except during the winter months due to foilage cover along the creek. Staying on KY11 will bring you to an intersection. This road is a combination of US421 and KY80 to the right and US421, KY80 and KY11 to the left.
