Cool video.👍👏👏👏💯💜🕯✌🙌🧘♀️✨🦋🌠🌷🌻✨🙂👋. Neita James. 🙏.
Thanks for the before pictures. Amazing how big the colliery was
And the tunnel. Enjoyed the info and new ruins you found!!!! Thank you I learn so much from you!!!
Incredible video. So much unknown history very near to home. Thank you.
Been enjoying your videos, makes me what to get out there and see these areas for myself. I came across a facebook page after watching this video with some really good photos from the days when these mines were operating (Floyd 56 mentioned it).
Thank You.
Awesome video! Thank you for mentioning the thorny- "devils walking stick"!
Thanks
Amazing history your doing a great job for your State very interesting
Great video again...I love your videos...your doing a great job....Western Canada

Another interesting video! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
thanks for watching
Really enjoyed that, especially tunnel. My father worked in a colliery and he used to bring marcisite home
Great video Wandering Woodsman!!
just found your channel, enjoying the videos so far !
Brick lining on the tunnel is really cool. Things were built really well back in the day
Love that brick work in the tunnel. Don't know of any like it.
I have been binging on your videos. Great Job! I'm in Schuylkill County and belong to Delaware Valley G.P.A.A.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video and lost history. Really enjoy the info.
Thanks
One of your best vids. Love the coal ash deposits, that area would make for very cool horror or alien movie. Nice work...
Thanks
great video
My mother was born up on that mountain in 1923 and lived there until she graduated high school 1941. She talk about walking through the tunnel as a kid. The empty railroad cars were stored waiting to be loaded in front of home to the left of the breaker. The stone foundations are still there to her house.
I grew up at east broad and Ray street the ash was from the fire it used to be on fire they called it the burning banks similar to Centralia pa
Very cool how you bring in the original picture s
Williamstown native here. The trails that run parallel along the mountain above the colliery are railroad beds. There were three on the mountain. Starting at the level where your truck is located. Also when I was a kid in the 90s there were the remains of a red building near your truck. It was called the Sulphur Inn. It was a bar room for the miners. It has since collapsed. Not sure if the remains are still there or not but it was near the houses on the right.
thanks, I' might go look for it. I did find a burned out home near that area, not sure if that's the place or not.
Cool video!!!
Thanks for the reply, Tom
my home town!!
Great video! I never knew there were so many hidden treasures in Pennsylvania. I used to live in Lancaster County, but I wasn't really into hiking in bush crafting, I now live in Bucks County PA, i'm wondering if there are any places to go here that would be worthwhile. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. Can't wait for the next one!!
Anthony Loguirato there's tons of good stuff in bucks county.
Ringing rocks, Ralph Stover, high rocks and the trail system that connects them, just to name a few.
I Live very close to ringing rocks park. I love it but I haven't really explored too much of it. And I have been to Ralph Stover but again I haven't gone far into it. Thanks so much for the info. I will definitely explore them now!!RoyalSupertramp
I do have several videos of Bucks county, hope to get there again someday
Great video
Awesome!
A little bit of research says it's a 1937, +/- a year or two, Chevy Pickup. Another great video and awesome find!!
thanks, I figured someone might know
I find this interesting. I live in northeast PA. anthracite coal mining ruled the area. Although no longer standing. The Moffat Coal Company's breaker was the largest in the world at one time for anthracite coal.
That truck has a 216 cubic inch straight six Chevy engine. It could also be a GMC truck, they also used the Chevy OVERHEAD VALVE Straight six as well as some GMC specific engines or Oldsmobile or Pontiac FLAT HEAD straight sixes. 30's cab to early 40's.
I figured someone would know, thanks
Nope, that is a 207ci. You can tell by the block.
+austinwagoncompany I forgot about the 207. I am familiar with 216 and the 235 and main spotting feature with the valve cover bolts.
Eric Zolner the only reason I know about it is because my '34 Chevy has one that's locked up so I had been kind of researching them and how long they used them.
So cool love the truck I would take it as it is like the dashboard and the rear window... and the springs laying by it could have been the seat... someone took the gauges stripped it out!!!!!!!! Ty Steve
If you follow the railroad going due east just before Joliet there's a large fan house and ruins. You can see it from the road about a mile down the road to Tower City.
I know where you mean
If yow would have kept walking West past the large ashes you will see a road on the right that cuts back and goes up hill (quarter to half mile maybe?) It will take you to a rock outcropping called Taylors Rock. Used to be a great view of Williamstown with no leaves on the trees. Not sure of the view now. You can find the story of how it got its name on Facebook. Search for Williamstown, PA - My Hometown. Lots of pics and history of Williamstown there.
I've read the story before, didn't realize I was that close to the spot.
Did you see the crank on dash of old truck for wipers!! I think.
The truck that you found is about a '35 Chevrolet.
Great video. I’m thinking the bed spring you found might have been the seat cushion or back rest from the truck. And how did they ever move those huge masses of coal ash around?
I'm guessing they just dumped it down there, probably most of it eroded away over the years
That was a big building. A beautiful building. Coal was a big business. Didn’t really know. Ty. The coal ash looks a bit like lava. Coal ash got hard by water?.. Seems they could break it up.
Wouldn't suggest going in that way anymore lady in the house said that's private land. She was very nice. But states the trailhead is her property. Same dumpster same gate.
People were virtually slaves to the coal companies in PA. They came from Europe and worked horrid hours for little pay. politicians and the Chamber of Commerce in PA kept other industry from coming here for fear of offering people better jobs and wages. Coal and the textile mills- people in northeastern PA literally killed themselves for crumbs two industries in which the owners lived like the Czar of Russia and other grand monarchs in Europe. They were wealthy beyond belief. It's a mindset of politicians and people of the old school, that keeps oppression somewhat alive to this day.
I forgot where I parked my truck in 1942 !!
What is on the firewall tags?
So what happened to the building? Many of your videos have foundations but we don't always hear what happened to the structure.
The State Game Commission backed filled the tunnel with dump trucks.
That cave was filled in, you should try to dig it out and go inside to check it out, but you need to take a few people with you, the roof did not cave in
DID YOU LOOK AT THE PLATES ON THE FIRE WALL OF THE TRUCK
That truck is a 1936 chevy low cab with a 207ci oldchevytrucks.com/blog/index.php/2015/07/1936-chevrolet-low-cab-12-ton/
have you ever visited the potts shaft at the potts colliery near ashland?
no I haven't
its not far off the road, there is blower house above it also. check out COAL CASTLES if you have`t yet its good info.
They blocked it off with dirt so people can't go in the tunnel
Does the State own the land that all of the ruins are on?
In this area it does
That is a flat head 6 cylinder
Man really something of all that coal ash. Why didn't tthey burrie it in the ground. That something to find a old truck in the woods.
There was probably one BIG mountain pile of Ash similar to a culm pile. The ash pile has probably washed away over the years and what you see is what has solidified enough not to wash away. Remember limestone is found in coal as a impurity. Limestone hardens like cement. Motor is called a straight 6. If that tunnel was used just for transportation of coal from one side of the mountain to the other and not a mine what a waste of infrastructure. Pennsylvania has loads of wasted infrastructure all over the place. We need to stop that as their is no money to replace what we have lost. Their is no economy left for that let alone what we have. I need to get me one of the devil trees would make a awesome walking stick! Great for self preservation if in a city going for a walk lol!
stop saying everything is cool!!!
