Great video Post 10! About 30 years ago on a trip to Centralia to see the fires my father and I dug up a couple small birch trees on the edge of town where it was beginning to burn. We planted them back at the homestead and am happy to say they're still growing strong and tall all these years later. It's a wild place!

Thank you for bringing us this very interesting video presentation. The red roads could be as a result of the stone that they use, it might be that the local quarry that they used had this colour of stone which produces that lovely red colour. About 30 miles from here in a neighbouring county there roads were also red for the same reason. Interestingly there is a quarry in the county that has rock that is used for railway ballast which is pink rather than the usual grey. The 'rusty' water flowing is quite common in areas where there are abandoned mines which could be as a result of the mine machinery which is rusting away and maybe naturally occurring veins of ironstone. When the mine was in use the water would have been pumped away elsewhere but with this no longer happening it would lead to the water bubbling to the surface and joining an already established stream.

It become a super fund site back in the late 70’s. All the soil had to be removed an burned in special containers. In Texas. There is still areas leaking toxic fluids from the ground into the water table. The mine your at now belongs to no one An is also considered a super fund site. Cause they can not put the fire out. Toxic gasses keep leaking into the air we breath an water they drink all the way south. You can bet your cookies An milk people leave that area cause of the cancer they come down with. It’s also a reason you can not buy the land. Cause it could become a sink hole like in Florida. Where people an homes disappear all the time. Be very careful where you go an walk around. What they tell you is very often not the truth. Very dangerous areas . Been there done it myself. Abandoned mine shaft , an fracking sites all over.

I went there with my family as a kid about 20 years ago. It was eerily quiet, hardly any birds, smoke coming from the road, ground, and even log stumps. The spot I went to had almost no grass or trees, don't remember what part we were at.

Yeah that's pyrite. There's no gold mines anywhere in the northeast. Plenty of petroleum and natural gas though, and coal of course Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia had gold. That's about the extent of it east of the Mississippi

I’ve always wanted to visit this place ever since I saw Silent Hill. I drove through Pennsylvania last year to visit Berks County (colonial Pennsylvania) and Gettysburg, but Centralia is further north so was too far out of the way.

Sad to see a town and its people disappear. Great for exploring though - that orange stream was fascinating along with the keystone culvert.

Very interesting, Post 10. I grew up in a town that made American Motor's cars. Yes, that Kenosha, WI. As a kid I remember going past a huge pile of coal that seemed to always be steaming. My dad who was an electrical engineer there said the coal pile was burning and smoldering and had been for many years. As a child I wondered why it didn't burn up like a log and burst into flames. Of course, now as an adult I understand that there was not enough oxygen for proper combustion. When Chrystler closed the AMC plant and removed the coal pile, it left a huge, impressive scorch mark that melted into the earth by several feet.

I was there July 2018. I’ve been in running cities that had less people. The place was packed!

The red roads are red because they used red granite crush, as aggregate addmix, for the asphalt, Up north on Ontario Canada there are lots of them.

That was a nice trip to Centralia and that iron rich stream with the key stone culvert was a cool hidden gem.

hey, really nice find! I have a creek nearby where farmers used to dump the rocks they found in their fields, and I got some really cool looking rocks out of it when I made my way down there it's a bit sad that the mine fire drove away the community, but at the very least I bet the abandoned land makes a perfect habitat for all the local animals!

I spent a day wandering around Centralia. Was really a fun time. Walked around a lot of what used to be there. And off behind the cemetery by the graffiti highway.
