The LOYALL yard on the north-east side
A rail yard carrying the town’s own name, LOYALL, lies 0.2 miles north-east of the center on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from a yard like this are often day cabs and dump bodies that rarely leave the county.
If your truck is parked near the tracks, send us the street or the gate it sits behind and a few photos of the cab, the frame and the bed. We collect from the spot you name, so a truck that never leaves the yard does not have to be moved first.
Two crushed-stone pits up the valley
Harlan Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 5.1 miles north of Loyall. Cumberland Quarry lies farther out, 15.8 miles to the north-east, in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing. Stone from pits like these usually moves in tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers.
For a dump truck that has worked a quarry haul, tell us the body type, the axle setup and whether the hoist and tailgate are attached. Have the Kentucky title in hand and, if you kept them, the service records for the hydraulics; they help us see the whole truck before we arrive.
Coal in the hollows
Two coal mines, one north and one east
Two coal mines sit within ten miles of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records: Old House Mining #1, 5.5 miles north, and Cawood #1, 9 miles east. Coal from mines like these leaves on haul trucks and tractor-trailers that run back and forth to the plants.
A haul truck at a mine site may be behind a locked gate. Let us know who holds the key or who can meet us, and send the VIN and a clear photo of the data plate so the paperwork matches the truck when we get there.
Coal washing at Balkan and Totz
Southwest of Loyall, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Balkan coal preparation plant 13.7 miles away; Totz Prep Plant lies east, 15.4 miles out, on that agency’s records. Coal is trucked into plants like these to be washed and sorted before it ships.
Tractors and dumps that ran the leg between mine and plant are trucks we buy. Tell us which plant the truck served and where it stands now, whether at a plant lot, a shop in Harlan or a driveway in Loyall, and we plan the pickup around that address.
Kentucky titles come from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and the one serving Loyall is the Harlan County Clerk at 210 East Central Street, Harlan, 40831, about 1.6 miles from town by the Cabinet’s office listing. A seller whose title has gone missing starts the duplicate there.
Bring photo ID and the truck’s VIN to the clerk’s counter, and if there is a lien on the truck, bring the lien release from the lender as well. Once the replacement title is in your name, send us a photo of it along with the registration and we can move ahead.
Cattle, goats and honey in the county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 37 farms in Harlan County, with cattle, goats and honey listed as the leading products. On farms like these, a flatbed or a stake-body truck often hauls hay, feed and livestock trailers.
A farm truck kept in a barn or a field counts the same as one at a mine. Tell us how to reach it from the road, and have the title and registration together so the collection is one trip.
