Coal Mine

[How Much?]

Well, it was my first day underground,,,,,,CRAZY!!!!!!! I went in and walked the main belt about mile and a half in, we went to a airshaft and the our boss told us to look up,,, you could see light and it looked so far up,, he said we were about 70 Stories under ground!!! At first, i was like F this, but once I was in there a little bit, i was fine! Its crazy to see all that stuff under there, and if you EVER get the chance to take a mine tour, DO IT !!!! I think this is going to be a GREAT JOB!!!! Is there any miners on here? Just curious?

Glad you like the job, it can be tough for sure. My dad worked at Tunnelton for 27 years before it closed. We lived through all the nasty stikes back in the day, but he made a good living at it. You couldnt get me in that mine with 38" coal. How high are you working?

I worked for Cunningham Machine we rebuilt Jeffery Heliminers 120 H/M/L & Joy trip cars/loaders/roof bolters.
A few times we were sent to different mines in WV, KY, to repair miners when the roof caved in on them and destroyed the Augers, we repair them at the face most of the time.

One mine in KY. they broke off the Auger on a Heliminer 120M 56"/seam roof 380' down 12mi in to the face
one of the worst mines I ever worked in. Took 3 days to weld the Auger attaching plate back on to get the machine back in service 2 days later the roof caved in and buried the miner took then 2 weeks to find it.

Always remember where the Air shaft & tracks are and watch the rats there your friend down there they know what's about happen.

How many hour/week are you planning on working? I know this is a job that takes ALOT of your time but good pay..

Glad you like it....You couldn't pay me enough to do that job. I think I would get claustrophobic.

Awesome!

Although, i think you'll get tired of it.... I've known a lot of people that have done that, most closely my Uncle who works in a mine in Eighty-Four, PA... and he can't wait to get the hell out... Went to school at Triangle Tech and became a certified electrician and all... but with no jobs in that field, he's still in the mine..... he hates it after 25+ years
