Coal mining was indeed brutal... still is. Just a few years ago a miner was killed in a local mine.
Those are some excellent finds, there, Bill. The Allegheny/Appalachian railroad's roll in coal mining operations there were/are fascinating. Sadly, the regional area of my coal mining interest is nowhere NEAR as recorded as the Alleghenies/Applachians. I'm lucky to find ANY pics at all... much less scores of documentary type pics as can be found concerning the Alleghenies/Appalachians.
