I would expect any soot to come from local homes heating with coal...many still do that...
The coal mines do not produce soot and the particulate matter from the railroads would be wind blown dust from the railroad beds...
The Shinnston Power Plant is over 20 miles away and its particuate matter is sequestered in the chimneys with pollution devices...
Culprit most likely are homes burning coal or wood and coal. The big thing is having a very large woodstove outside the house...heats a hot water loop that runs to the house.
Those outside furnaces burn everything...tires, garbage..oil...if it will burn, it goes in the stove.

My grandparents had one of those stoves put in a while back. It does a good job, just gets a little annoying having to go chop wood every time I head home though.
When you get to their age you will remember the chore and be glad you did it for them...quit you whining....perhaps you would want money for soiling your hands....
WAHHHH! Git off your dead-ass and make Saturday a work project...GHO, I don't believe the B*ll $h!+ you just wrote...didn't we raise you right...
I'm sic-ing Harbor Lady on your dead Okoali right now.....
Oh, Harbor Lady? Harbor Lady...
ps: If I was Grampa, I would give all my money to Marshall U and do it in YOUR name.
I've never seen any! Maybe in and around the Railroad yards due to them transporting a lot of coal by train but I've never noticed anything like that on the snow.

Why, back in the day, we shoveled 3 ft of snow from every neighbors house and got paid a cookie. KIDS these days! SHEESH!
Ahh but did you forget about that young man chasing greener grass seeking his fortune, hanging out with latte krishna bigfoots in the pacific NW? Seems to me he came around eventually.
A neighbor of mine, 85 yrs bless her heart, was telling me about when television first came to WV. She laughed pretty hard recalling... "They said it was the devils work, and no self respecting christian woman should watch it."
Times change, but what's real and enduring doesn't. Maybe just the faces & the names.
It was called Expresso at the time and it was very good (had my first mug in Christchurch, NZ)...and about TV..Howdy Doody and Ted Mac were hardly the devils work...but now?
I can't watch it and have my brain infused with the injections of mental crap...it is truely sickening.
Wonder what Philo would think of his invention of education now?...
