The Coal Mines

The Coal Mines, also known as The Coal Yards is a mine located near The Coaling Plant, about 4 miles north-east of Wellsworth, on the Coaling Plant Branch Line.

History
At one point, while working at the mines, Percy accidentally shunted some trucks too hard, causing them to run out-of-control into the mines and hit a support beam. Luckily, Percy and his crew were saved from the ensuing avalanche by a canvas barrier.

Later on, the mines were rebuilt and Percy once again worked at the mines, taking trucks to and from the nearby yards.
