Our next stop was the coketon coke ovens. The coke ovens were used to heat up the coal to drive off all the oxygen and volitales so that all that was left was carbon, which is called coke. Coke is used for making steel, its better than regular coal to make a better quality steel. The coke was then shoveled from the ovens right into the rail carts, the railway is no longer there but the remnants of the coke ovens are still there.
