The coal mines, breakers, coal miners’ homes, and railroads have all often disappeared. With only one coal breaker left in all the state, it used to be time to record what would soon be lost. Unfortunately, one piece of history that persists is underground fires that ravage communities like Centralia. Blazing for over 50 years, the flames of Centralia may not be doused anytime soon. Images featured within the book include the St. Nicholas coal breaker, Huber coal breaker, Steamtown National Historic Website online, Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, Eckley Miners’ Village, Centralia, and the Knox Mine disaster. A hybrid history book and trip guide, Lost Coal Country of Northeastern Pennsylvania is one final recounting of what’s gone and what still remains.
