Today I went with my parents on an adventure for my birthday. We went to the New River Gorge, WV area to the Nuttallburg mine. Was once owned by Henry Ford. Visited the old Headhouse that unloaded the coal and transported it down to the river by conveyor to be loaded onto the trains.

A few years ago we went to the bottom of Nuttallburg where they loaded the trains. Conveyor from the mine at the top. Train loadout. Old Coke Ovens
Nearby is the old coal town of Whipple, WV. There is the old Whipple Coal Mine Company Store that has been somewhat restored and we took a tour. Old Safe room Upstairs Ballroom for the owner's wife. Room supposedly haunted by a 12 year old girl that was murdered in there.
