Blended Coal
Wisconsin Electric’s coal trains that were sourced from Consolidated Coal Company’s mines on the Monongahela Railway were loaded with blended coal from two mines. After the cars were half loaded with black diamonds from the Baily Mine on the Manor Branch, the trains topped off at the Blacksville #2 mine in Wana, West Virginia. Here, the typical three-unit consist (two from CSX, one from the C&NW) has an added Monongahela GP38 for the trip down the Waynesburg Southern.
