I have seen but can not now find a photo of a large piece of coal. I think that it was a one ton piece on a coal car with 2008 written on the lump a number of times. It seems that it was bound for a worlds fair for exhibition. I would like to find the picture and more information about it. The location of the coal was western Maryland I believe.
Thank you for any help you may give.

I can get you a picture of a 13 ton lump, would you want it posted here ?
I am looking for a specific photo but would be interested to see if the photo that you have is the same one that I have seen. I am looking for this piece because it is from my local area. If you could post to me the picture that you have, that would be great. I don't know how the private post works but that would be great . Thank you

I don't have a photo, I do know where the 13 ton piece is, and next time I am there, I'll take a picture !

there are several large pieces of anthracite along the driveway into the main office of the Reading and Northern railroad in Port Clinton PA.they are well over a couple of tons apiece!
I have uploaded a pic of the particular piece of coal that I am seeking - not the piece itself but another photo and especially information about this particular piece.
If it is familiar to anyone, I would love for you to reply. Thank you all for all of the assistance to this point.
