I just took a peak at DiRenzo's website as they had some coal for a couple weeks. Then out again.
The website states that the prep site/breaker was acquired by another co. as of Aug. 1st. Look like one of their operations is the RS&W shaft mine on the Gordon Naugle trail, not far from the prep plant, so maybe they will have that source.

RS&W would be a drift mine I believe. Saturday they had Old Miners Night at Valley View Park and it was all about Randy Rothermel and family. Randy passed away a couple years ago in case anyone didn't know. He was in the Dirty Jobs episode.

Yes, I should have said drift or underground mine. I didn't know that he had passed. Nice that they had a remembrance for him.
