I am surprised that the EBT isn't getting their coal from the Broad Top coal field. They were mining coal at Alvan as recently as 2017 through 2020 and might still be strip mining there. There was an estimated 50 million tons there in 1956 although I'm hoping there was a lot more than that. Assuming the coal up there was from the pillars of the old mines, they should be buying coal from Alvan. It is supposed to be very low in impurities including Sulphur and iron. If only there was a modern cleaning plant in Mt. Union!
