Hello. Welcome to my channel & thanks for taking the time to view and watch this video. Please see my full disclaimer below. This abandoned mine was a small, but fun walk back in time. This had no infrastructure whatsoever, nothing. There wasn't even rail ties, let alone track in this one left. No buildings, no underground infrastructure as typical in other mines, this one was bare bones. It was special however, as it was virtually free of rockfalls, collapses & was relatively intact from the day the miners themselves would have abandoned it way back in the late 1950s/early 1960s. What makes this mine special also is that fact that it was a "low vein" operation, meaning they chased an extremely vertically low sized seam of anthracite coal. It was less than 2 feet thick! So this was a small mine where the gangway (main haulage for the coal cars) was low & the actual workings (place where the coal was extracted) was also insanely low. Miners had to lay on their stomachs, sides & backs to mine the coal in this one! Why mine such a low vein of coal then you may be asking? Well, the coal vein was rich. It was all peacock, or rainbow coal (coal actually has rainbow colors throughout it, similar to an oil streak in the sun). This coal was a high grade vein of anthracite that may have been the most rich coal type on our planet as a whole. It just made sense to suffer in low vein settings to get the good stuff out & off to market. This is what these men had to endure to provide for their families. Some miners liked working in low vein operations, but personally, I never could do this. It was sketchy enough crawling around in the low vein workings for just a few minutes myself. This was a very small operation, only about 2 football fields in length at most, at the end, the tunnel simply just stops. It stopped because the industry most likely collapsed at the time they were in that spot in the mine & it was decided to close the mine for good. There was plenty of good coal left, no safety issues seen & there would not have been a reason for them to not be chasing this coal further into the mountain (other than economics). This turned out to be a textbook showcase visually as to the room & pillar mining operation with a gangway cutting through it. DISCLAIMER: Stay Out & Stay Alive!! As you can see from this video, abandoned mines are treacherous. I've worked with the Pa. DEP/Pa. Game Commission (civilian non-employee reporting dangerous mines) over the last 10 plus years to bat gate mines, backfill open vertical shafts that were threats to people & animals, etc. STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE! I NO LONGER ACTIVELY EXPLORE ABANDONED ANTHRACITE COAL MINES. I HAVE NEARLY 2 DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND AM TRAINED, HAVE OXYGEN, FLAME SAFETY LAMPS, MAPS, MEDICAL TRAINING FROM THE MILITARY, ETC. YOU CAN EASILY GET HURT OR KILLED IN OLD MINES! Black damp can kill you in mere moments & it is something you cannot smell or see, without training & proper equipment, you will succumb to this. No locations will be given or discussed anywhere on my channel; I will delete them if comments as such arise. I always carried a closed-circuit oxygen self-rescuing apparatus that miners carry. Always a had a ridiculous number of batteries & multiples of flashlights themselves, glow sticks, hard hat, tourniquet, maps of the specific mine, a safety party on standby should I not come out at a predetermined time, etc. I kept my explorations as professional as one possibly could. I also had an extensive knowledge as to how & why miners did what they did underground. I knew what could possibly happen to the roof/walls before it happened in a sense. My geology knowledge was something I worked hard at & most people could miss what I often saw thus resulting in collapses, etc. SO PLEASE STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE!
