Today's offering from the tarchives shows an overhead electric wire locomotive at a coal mine near Pittston in Pennsylvania. Best to keep your head down with all that electricity just above.

Another view from the tarchives. I believe that this is at a mine near Pittston in Pennsylvania c1908. Quite why the mule was on the cage is unexplained.
