Pics of modern(ish) coalmines?

[CSXFan]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any pics or links to pics of modern eastern United States coalmines? I'm planning a small coalmine on my layout and I want to know what details I need to make it look believable. I'm modeling a modern CSX coal mine so any pics of those or similar mines are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
