Anthracite coal is what Reading Lines hauled and burned in their steam engines. Gotta love that anthracite, extra tuff compared to bituminous.

Hopefully it is Blue Coal (a reference for fans of The Shadow radio show - call for your trial ton today).

Leave the coal dust. Adds flavor.

Anthracite or bituminous coal?

Go to the coffee pot and help yourself. All us ladys get our own coffee.

I hope the right lead for the diningcar has been found. If I blowdown the coal dust off my smudged and chipped N&W mug would one of you ladys fill it for me? I  like what has been read  and seen  by this old hide.  Could I stay here for a bit?
