Thanks for explaining all this My dad was a certified miner before he bought his truck and started delivering to houses and businesses He had a nickname of SIX CAR EDDIE He only briefly told stories about mining and never got into details like you guys He did say that the South Wilkes Barre mine scared him and only once mined there Back when he was mining he was given a section to mine and no other miner worked it He said the purest coal came out of the Westmorland in West Wyoming

I’m from Scranton… what ever became of this project and are there any abandoned or ghost towns near Wilkes Barre Scranton area - somewhere to … ah camp , ya camp I live right on the site of Knox mine disaster , I’m thinking about taking over the old Pittston hospital- it’s got a boiler / generator Vandals got too it last year It was in good condition Vandalism sucks . I’m thinking there should be at least 2 miles underground of 7-10 layer stories of mines that go about 20-30 mines under this place- should be enough space to store some old cars and tap into natural gas for energy. Know if any oil wells or deposits in pa ? I need sweet crude oil for refining purposes Thanks

Hi Brian, Chris here! thanks for following along all these years! I have a shop up at skyhaven airport in Tunkhannock now. still playing airplane haha. the ironminers forum kinda went away with social media. we have a pretty successful FB page now. if you are local stop up the Brooks Mine in Scranton some time! We are also having an open house at our shop May 11. check the website. thanks for the note.......

@@user-nc5vj7gv7ithere is context to why this mine looks homemade. It is is homemade, run by a family of coal miners spanning t back at least 3 generations, this is a small family coal mine representing a small part of Americas coal mining and general mining capabilities. Larger industrial mines are much nicer than this, but lack the charm.

I love locomotives, but you guys need to change how you handle equipment, walking over and between a truck bed, and two locomotives to connect up. then stepping over a winch rope under tension. operator of loco. not inside the cab. one mistake could have been tragic, also not a good example to show on a video. just my opinion of being an underground manager for 42 years.

I think our area (Eastern Pa) is the only place in America with an abundance of Anthracite. I think there are a few very small spots across the country with Anthracite coal. The rest would be bituminous and lignite. USGS has a good map of what's what.
