Always worth a re-watch. Gives an extra chance to appreciate all that work. If this is the same mine as the town that disappeared, I enjoyed those stories and the cemetery. Bittersweet.
If only those mines could talk! Not enough people listened to the stories Gramps talked about so long ago. Thanks for keeping the Miners stories alive!
They do talk if you look close enough! I get what you mean though. Echoes of time! Thank you very much for watching and being a regular supporter of the channel!
There sure is plenty of coal left in this mine it would burn well in an iron stove it wouldn't take much timbering to hold up the roof and start mining again cool place
Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes, there's lots of good coal left. I looked at the maps and there's just a ton of unworked coal. It would be nice in an old school iron stove!
Hell ya! I have a ton of Bituminous stuff in my archives. I'll tap into them soon. Going to drop some more anthracite stuff, but I do love soft coal too. Hahaha 👍
Maybe not Clinton County? We've talked about that before! The strip mining ops have pretty much wrecked any underground activities here. We used to find old cars, trucks, from the 20's and 30's up in Scootac and Peacock. As I've told you before, my Uncle grew up in Bitumen, Pa. I still remember seeing the old refractories from Queens Run and their ruins. We had clay and coal depending on what side of the river you were on. Check out the old National Mine Map Repository maps of the Queens Run Farrandsville area.@@AnthraciteHorrorStories
@@Davewilliamson5w this one isn't in Clinton County, not terribly far away though. That's awesome! Ya, I'll have to check the maps out man. Bituminous mines are pretty straightforward. No slopes, pitches, vertical coal, etc. Just straightforward room and pillar mining usually.
Please remember to stay out of ABANDONED Coal Mines!

How are you holding up by the way?
That delam at 11:25 is the main mental image that kept me out over my lifetime !
Yeah, it's never a good sight to be honest.
Great video! Would the coal from a bootleg mine be used for personal use, or would they have sold it to customers?
This one was big, so definitely customers. They most likely heated their own homes with it too I'd bet. That's a good question to ask. 👍
