The Hampden Coal complex is located in Mingo and Logan counties in southern West Virginia and consists of six underground mines and one contour surface mine. The underground operations use room-and-pillar mining to produce metallurgical coal from the 2-Gas and Lower Cedar Grove seams. The surface mine produces metallurgical and steam coal from the Alma seam. Coal is processed at the Hampden Preparation Plant and loaded into railcars via 2 CSX load outs and 1 NS load out.
