Black Mesa Coal Silo
|
|
| Two coal mines in the nearby hills serve distant power plants. This silo is at the end of a 17-mile-long conveyor connecting to the Kayenta Mine on Black Mesa. From here it is loaded on to electric trains that take it 75 miles on a dedicated track to the Navajo Power Plant near Page. Power from that plant serves Los Angeles and Phoenix. The other mine on Black Mesa is the origin of the Black Mesa Pipeline which travels 273 miles across the desert to the Mohave Power Plant in Nevada. |
