MGA-CSX 6848 North at Time, PA
CSX GP40-2 6848 leads CSX SD40-2 8380 and CNW SD40-2 6805 on Wisconsin Wlectric WEPX coal loads from Consol's Bailey Mine at Time, PA at MP M11.5 on the Monongahela Railway's Manor Branch on March 24, 1990.
At the time of this photo the Consol Bailey Mine was the only mine served by the Manor Branch and was loading about 4 trains every 24 hours. Later the additional underground Enlow Fork and Harvey Mines were developed adjacent to Bailey to also mine high-Btu bituminous coal reserves in the Pittsburgh No. 8 seam in different directions and the entire set of loadouts and preparation plants is now called the Consol Energy Pennsylvania Mining Complex. Today 8-10 trains are loaded in 24 hours at the sprawling site located at 39.973312 -80.412575 which is larger than the island of Manhattan. It is the largest underground coal mining operation in North America.
