Miners ride into the mines in a portal bus that run on rails. The buses are powered by electric motors and fitted with seats that are covered for protection.

Maintenance inspections of these shortwall roof supports insure safe and efficient operation.

Mine cars are turned upside at the rotary dump to remove the coal.

There are 3 pictures within each section.
