This coal preparation plant in Tuscarawas County, Goshen Coalfield,
is a blast from the past. A new electric magnet has just been installed over the crusher in the center of the photo.
As this picture, taken at the same prep plant as the photo above, illustrates, the raw coal conveyor still has a gob-picking
station on it.
The plant in Tuscarawas County is still using a Baum Jig to wash the coal.
A modern day deep mine in a box cut in Tuscarawas County. The mine is operated by Tusky Coal, LLC. Note the structural steel canopy over the mine portals which is now more popular than
the old style concrete or brick. Also note the beltline dumping onto a portable stacking conveyor.
