From Kingdom of Coal (p XIX):
In winter, the coal breakers, vast factories for processing coal, seem even more imposing against the barren landscape. Most stand silent now, more than 100 feet tall, rotting remnants of a once dominant industry. Not far from every breaker and pit head are the simple homes of the people who remain in the region. The buildings are strung together in long rows, and some of them are sinking into the earth.
