smaz:

Thanks for the report as I had to delay my trip to ky. For those questioning the veracity of the pic, it is Gwenco, can't vouch for when it was taken, but it doesn't surprise me that gene has the mine running.

Smaz is correct on the type of continuous miner. Still the wrong size, but you go with what you have.

I did notice something based on the pic and smaz's comments. Coal production is sporadic. Normally, as coal is flowing off the belt, the loader is loading onto a truck. Moving coal from one spot to another is very inefficient. My guess is that they are not at full production, rather ramping up operations.
