At the Huber braker in Ashley PA. All out going coal loads were sprayed with a thin coat of oil to keep the dust down. This gave the coal a blueish tint, that along with the blue color flame it gives off when burned, earned it the blue coal brand name. The St Nichols braker also did something similar.
