Loading a Western Kentucky Coal Train: The Warrior Coal Mine in Action
398,453
Published 2024-02-04
This is at the Warrior Coal Mine in Manitou, Kentucky.
The train being loaded is from the Paducah & Louisville Railway.
The coal will be burned at a power plant in Louisville.
You'll see the tower in action and learn how the coal is pulled from the ground and ultimately loaded into the hopper cars.
I hope you enjoy.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I love your videos and this certainly is another great one! I like knowing how things work, how processes are done and your videos are a close up look at just that! Thanks for your hard work!

I am a retired coal preparation engineer. The sprays prior to empty cars entering the load out are freeze release agents not water.

Thanks for the great video

It's amazing that all of those cars are graffiti free. I'm glad to see it actually. That's 5x speed, but it actually looks like it could be real-time to someone who has no knowledge of the process. Great video. Wow that's a lot of cars total!

I am from West Virginia. Grew up in Mabscott. I designed many reclaim tunnels, loadouts, prep plants, and several hundred miles of conveyors. the facilities were in WV, KY, IN, IL, and CO. I enjoy coal people. I worked for J O Livley, AMAX, Diamond Shamrock, and as a consultant. I wonder if any visitors here remember me?

The nozzles that you were calling water spray were not spraying water. They spray a chemical that keeps the coal from sticking to the sides of the hoppers. Great video. Thanks.
