Video of modern underground coal mining operations from riding a man trip,
long wall mining, operating a continuous miner to coal shuttle haulers.

Both mines I worked in had rail. Super nice getting around. I watched a video of a diesel man-trip... yeah... no thanks. Nice video of the longwall in operation.

I worked in the offices (InfoTech) at Jim Walter (back when there was a JWR) and I got a chance to "tour" the number 5 mine (back when there was a #5). I got to see the longwall operation and everything all along the extended journey to get there. In spite of everything, I returned to surface blowing black dust from my nose and clearing the same from my throat. Not much, but enough to get the general idea of how it was down there. Thanks for another great video.

My dad worked at jw #3 fireboss and #5 I believe he was mine foreman. He worked at several more. My grandpaw was also a coalminer

My dad worked 45 years underground. Loved it. From the first shift at Powhatan No. 4 until he retired from McElroy (Marshall County), he did just about every job in there. Outside utility to track and everything in between. He was always the go-to guy. I onlt hope I can be the same in my profession when its all said and done (I&C tech in power plants).

Imagine if Birmingham reopened with this level of technology. It would be cool to reopen a few mines, but isn't it a blast seeking out our mines? Thanks for sharing! Made it out to Woodword No 1 today. Hope to see the Sloss No2 Hoist soon. Still trying to find the best way to it.

I know nothing about coal mining but I'd guess thats a well run mine.

Amazing. One of your best post so far! Most people who have no connection to mining have no earthly ideal how its actually been done in the last 50 years or so. Still couldn't get me down in those things.... yikes!!! 😁

In the UK it’s called stone dust. If there’s an explosion in the mine it suppresses the coal dust from igniting !!

@@jameshydr2973 many thanks for your answer. Yes, i meant the underground water. I'm trying to understand how it is clean in different countries. In Australia it is also ponds, but now its changing and more mines with the reinforced water treatment plants are installed. For example, actiflo from veolia.
