3. Joy coal cutter and carrier

So this is a park? Are the rails still in place on the ovens?

It is a park but it doesn't look like they have done much upkeep the last few years. The top of the ovens are caved in and the tracks are long gone.

Does anyone know the make of the first motor?

The picture of the first motor looks like a General Electric low-profile unit. Probably 10-tons.

Ray

There was a 7 cast on the side. I thought that might be the tonnage.

Banks, I didn't take any measurements but I'll be going back up there in the near future. I am going to talk to the powers that be at the museum about getting a few pieces back to my shop to be put into a better state of preservation. Then hopefully they could displayed under cover instead of out in the weather.
