At this mine the motor hauling the man trip is stopped just after it emerges from mine portal. The men then get out of the cars inside the drift and walk to the lamp house. This practice eliminates the running which is characteristic of most man trip's unloading. Note the lamps of miners still in the drift. Koppers Coal Division, Kopperston Mines, Kopperston, Wyoming County, West Virginia.
