West Virginia Coal

Boy! When the weather gets bad the coal mines get really muddy. Spent some time this week at a coal prep plant here in WV and mud is up to your ankles. They are still loading trains though and that means they are still mining coal. Maybe not as much as they are used to but the power plants still need something to burn. And beside, all that mud keeps the dust down. These guys were using slugging wrenches on their mechanism bolts and had a guy who was holding the wrench get his finger smashed with a 16# hammer. TorcUP tools are cheap.
