Mine: (Satellite, from a satellite image, it appears the conveyor is over a mile long.)
The portal loads barges on the Ohio River with coal that is transported from an underground mine using a conveyor.

This is obviously the source of the coal for the loadout.

gem and Google Maps specifies this as the location of the 1975 Shoemaker Mine that is currently operated by Ohio County.

Anthony Jaxson posted West Virginia, USA [Several comments accused this photo of being AI generated. But some, such as this one, identified what is in the photo. I guess the AI believers don't know how a telephoto lens can compress distances.] George Doughty: This is a photograph taken from an aircraft over Martins Ferry Ohio looking south over the Ohio River. You can see the Wheeling suspension bridge, the I 70 bridge and the I 470 bridge. [Facebook had an error when I submitted this comment, so I don't think it actually got posted. I determined that the error happened because the post became unavailable.] Dennis DeBruler: The bridges over the Ohio River are interesting, but it is the coal silo and conveyor belts in the background that says West Virginia to me. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XCsNrkkp2cV9KtMW9 |
