West Virginia coal miners help tourists push their dead electric car
A group of coal miners recently helped push a dead electric vehicle to a charging station in West Virginia.Would you believe most coal miners ride to work in an electric vehicle?
It's called a man trip car. One of my first jobs was helping build them.

Area around the front of a coal mine looks like an electrical substation for a big city.
Notice how "short " the car and miners is. I bet their heads just clear the roof of the coal seam.

Butch- a continuous miner operates on 4900 volt power- small mine may have 300 horsepower fan for air circulation, and a good sized conveyor- you bet they have a substation. As far as the low mantrip car- 48 inch coal is good stuff. Have been in 24 inch once. Told the boss I was not going back. A good day at work will be determined by the quality of your kneepads. Mine looked like they belonged to an Imperial Storm Trooper.

Years ago went with Dad to St. Charles, Va. He used stoker coal.
For those that don't know, St. Charles has a one way only street through the tiny town, if it still even exists. Obummer shut down a lot of folks lively hood.
Had to turn around at end of town and drive back, at the end of the paved road there was a man running a piece of mining equipment. He sat low to the ground and machine was beginning to cut into a seam of coal that could have not been more than 3 feet thick. I thank the good Lord every day that I hope to never do that kind of work.
Dad said when he first started hauling coal it was lump brought out of a "Pony" mine and could take all day to load 4 ton on his old Chevy 2 ton truck, 40's model of some sort. One of those trucks that took a clown's foot to start.🙂

Around 1961, my folks had a coal furnace. Coal went from $7/ton to $11/ ton. I remember they fretted about how we could afford to stay warm, next winter. The coal bin in the basement held about 4 tons, by my estimate.
The only place remotely near here to by stoker nut coal is a town called Cucumber, WVa. It was bringing $148/ton a few years ago.
