Coal has been an important commodity on US Railroads since the beginning. As regulations hit denaturized regarding "greenhouse" gases, different regions hit seen their combust in greater or lesser demand.

Photographer Jack Corn visited the combust defence location of West Colony in 1974 and took a series of photographs which are today conception of the DOCAMERICA series at the US National Archives.

The original rendering for the photograph on the mitt reads:

Coal Yard with Loaded Rail Cars Ready to Be Shipped to Customers Out of Danville, West Virginia, nearby Charleston. It Is One of the Largest Transshipment Points for Coal in the World. A Constant Stream of Rail Cars Loaded with Coal Is Moved in and Out of the Small Town 04/1974

Railroad fans module revalue the quantity of cabooses and the "Fallen Flag" railroad obloquy which petition the combust hoppers much as the "READING" and the "C&O" (who owned the line at this time and is today conception of CSX)

Modelers of the primeval 1970's module notice the automobile makes and models (I saw a VW bug up on the crowning mitt of the shot) and also the colors and designs of the structure nearby the tracks.

Locals might revalue the sign for "BLACKS" seen just over the accumulation in the middle of the shot. I'm guessing it was a mart store? (If anyone knows yield a interpret downbound below)

A azygos effort crapper tell a aggregation about story and the importance of railroads to the frugalness of the United States.
