I was told by two individuals that Harmony Coal is going to discontinue retail sales. I have not been there lately myself so I tried to verify by phone. I could only get a message about price and no mention of closing. Both people were customers so I have to believe there is some truth to this.

Do you deliver coal RT? If so, how far?

I was delivering coal. Right now I am fighting a health problem so no deliveries right now. Thanks for asking.

I live a mile north of the Glen Burn Harmony coal yard and 1/4 mile above their breaker. Reading Anthracite has purchased the breaker and was not interested in the coal yard. I don't know the exact time frame when Reading will take over the breaker operations or if they will offer retail sales. I know several individuals who work there and will post an update once I can verify that what I am told is factual and accurate.

Thanks for the info, coalman. Doesn't sound good for retail. I believe Reading stopped bagging a while back. No idea if that's permanent.

ITS OFFCIAL---The Glen Burn Harmony Mine coal yard is closed. The company that owns it sold their breaker to Reading Anthracite who was not interested in continuing retail operations at that site. I am not sure if Reading will continue retail sales at their newly acquired breaker which is about a mile north of the now closed Glen Burn Harmony coal yard. This is the breaker that processed the coal that was sold at the yard. The previous owner sold retail at both locations.

Thanks for the follow up. This gives time before the next heating season for those needing contingency plans.
