    My great grandfather was a miner at the Mahonoy Plane. I have his miners license. This was very interesting for me.

    Fascinating history and well researched, thanks for the tour! That brick portion of the road is an especially cool find. Glad you go to video the road before they start tearing it up.

    Interesting history. I'm not familiar in Northern Schuylkill County. I did a quick search, that memorial on the telephone pole is for a young man killed in an atv accident.

    My grandfather's brother, Geary Hower, was the president of the Gilberton Coal Company way back in the 1940's or 50's.

    Have walked thru that section before as I came from frackville and walked down. Took some good sunset pictures but never had anyone tell me I wasn’t allowed there. Plus talked to a frackville cop who said he goes down there on 4wheelers and stuff I just assume I can’t drive my truck in there to go collect a rock with fossils in it that I can’t carry that far
