Description
Miners at Murray Energy's Ohio County mine (ex Consol Coal's Shoemaker Mine) begin tie up procedures for their motors after a long night shift. These 50 ton beasts aren't long for this world as they're being replaced in the near future so seeing them in operation even if for a few brief minutes is something special. Scuttlebutt is that American Industrial Mining Co. a mining museum in Ohio and SWPA might be getting a motor to preserve. For more info check their web page at www.americanindustrialmining.com
