The quarry that carries the name of this borough works limestone as a surface operation with 26 people under Allegheny Mineral Corp. The same company works two more inside 8 miles: the Murrinsville Plant about 4 miles east with 15 and the Slippery Rock pit about 8 miles south-west with 22.

That is 63 people across three pits under one operator, and it is the shape of the whole local stone trade. There is no second limestone company within 8 miles of here on the list.

Those three pits are limestone and nothing else. The sand and gravel south-west of here belongs to different companies: the Reese Road pit about 10 miles south-west works with 13 people and the Black Run pit about 10 miles south-west with 9, both under Three Rivers Aggregate, and the Cress Pit about 11 miles south-west with 23 under another name again.

So two trades sit side by side with almost no overlap of ownership between them.

That ownership pattern decides where the traffic goes. Eight freight sites lie within 11 miles of this borough, and one of them is the Branchton yard about 6 miles south, listed by the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics — the rail head the stone from these pits can reach.

So the lanes run short and south rather than out to a highway. The Scrubgrass fuel handling facility about 13 miles north-east works with 5 people and is the one coal operation anywhere near, at the far edge of that circle.

Between the Murrinsville Plant about 4 miles east and the Cress Pit about 11 miles south-west the work turns over on its own cycle, and a truck coming off a limestone contract is not automatically wanted on the sand side.

• A dump body that carried stone is bought the same as one that carried sand.
• We are an owner-operator.Most of what we buy around here is a single truck. One is the normal sale.

When one company holds three of the pits, losing a haulage contract can mean losing the local market rather than one customer.

So the truck stands between the Reese Road pit about 10 miles south-west and the Black Run pit about 10 miles south-west, on ground that has no further use for it.
