1943! When you consider we were deeply involved in both the war in Europe and the Pacific, coal mining was an essential war industry, but was mostly done by boys and older men. Able bodied men between 21 and 45 were drafted. Men 18 to 20 often joined up for service. Teen boys and 50 year old men dug that shaft, poured that concrete and mined that essential coal to defeat the axis powers of WWII. Hard work! Brave men. Rough country then. Good video, thanks. I know the area well.
Enjoyed every minute of this video ....Being raised in southern timber country I knew nothing about coal mining . I am learning so much and find it fascinating the way you piece the story together from the clues that were left behind. ..and mysteries to ponder . Seeing the beaver "cut ' tree, the dynamite shack built with 2 layers of blocks., abandoned rails and poison water ...going in with you behind those awesome metal doors . I loved it all . So glad you and Cliff took us along on this explore . ...loved it !
Loved the video Jay and Cliff. Jay, I share your love of trains and coal mines. Interesting story, my grandmother heated with coal up until the late 1960's. I remember hating that as a kid as you couldn't really control the temperature in the house very well. To me as a youngster, the house was always far too warm and then got cold at night until the furnace was re-stoked. Although we had a bunch of local coal available, she never bought it. She always insisted on "Pennsylvania anthracite coal". She always said it didn't smell like rotten eggs like Illinois coal did. Thanks for the video, and there were people in Illinois that had to have "Pennsylvania anthracite coal". I remember that it was more expensive, but in the case of my grandmother...she would gladly pay for it. I wish she was still alive, she would have loved this video....and then ordered another load of "Pennsylvania anthracite coal"!
Jon Symmonds very interesting story re life with your Grandma. I often wondered as a child the price and efficiency of using coal. We had a coal stove in our basement, but never got to use it. Someone came in and removed it without telling me. One of the disadvantages of living back east. . . Good things go missing or become damaged! Really enjoyed your comment to JP & Cliff. Write back if you can re coal. Great New Year to you. 🥂. ⛏🙂
Really nice video! What a beautiful day for a hike through the woods. Thank you for all the background information...I love history. The photos at the end were pretty awesome, too, but I'll have to admit the inside part of the mine gave me the creeps. Glad you guys made it out safe. :)
Thank you guys for what you are doing. I seen the puffs of steam from the water (before you went in the shaft). I love watching this channel. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting explanation JP. What a lovely area in the woods. Lovely crisp sounds walking through the frost and leaves, stunning colours of the leaves in winter. The sun made the day so beautiful.. Your looking good JP glad your taking care with your buddy, wearing sensible shoes etc. You have great knowledge of the areas you explore.. Thank you for sharing it with us. Best wishes beverley stone UK.
I love when you film with Cliff he is such a good hearted person keep up the good work you guys and Happy New Year can't wait to see what crazy adventures you guys film next year i'll be watching , Thank you JP
I'm loving this video and the info is great. You and Cliff work well together. Must of been quite the place. Awesome doors.i can hear the water.so cool!! 👍🏻
Jay this is so cool, ever since I've subscribed to your channel I too have been fascinated with coal mining. I love this kind of stuff. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! What a great find. When I saw the pictures on Patreon a while back I couldn’t wait to watch the adventure that went along with them..It didn’t disappoint! Btw I like the boots😊
Love the content. We have a lot of coal mines up my way near Scranton. It’s so interesting and yet the mines are so creepy lol. Keep up the great videos and congrats on the YT plaque 👍🏻
Actually I’m from old forge which is right outside of Scranton and yes the two that I’m aware of have big metal gates welded over the opening. You can still see inside but not very far. If I get a chance to get up that way sometime I’ll take some pics and send them to you.
This is a great video JPV. I love it. I wonder if you have ever dumpster dived before? Can you even do that in your neck of the woods? I see lots of videos on YT and was wondering if you have or ever will do that?
Thanks for the video. You talk about and explain things I never new about. My mother lived in southern Mo. With her grandparents and he was a miner. My heart goes out to the miners. Hard work for little money. Take care. God bless on your adventures.
I gotta say you do really good work. You go into all places and rooms. Other channels I watch they miss rooms and Im telling them (at my screen) go back, you missed one! 😄 I like that you showed the beavers trees, cool to me, but I love nature!
Really loved those still life photos at the very end of the video. Nice touch. And that music want along well with that! Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Wow. Did not expect to see a mine in there. Thought maybe an office. Love reconstructing the ruins, putting the pieces together as you find them wonder if it dries out enough to explore more in the warm months. Very cool guys !
Your commentary was so interesting, you really know your stuff re coal mining operations. Nice video of the beautiful woods ( with the exception of all the trash). Thanks JP and Cliff. Excellent photos at the end!!!
Fascinating. Nice to know the year because it reminds us that most homes were heated with coal in early 1900’s. I don’t think I have ever seen a beaver’s work before. That trunk size was pretty formidable for the rodent. I enjoyed the walk in the woods.
Hey Buddy, Wow Awesome video! You both are brave enough goes into that. Wonder When is that place closed down for good? I seen 1943 to ? Glad see Cliff went with you. wonder was it too cold inside mine? Thanks for sharing. :-)
Hey I loved the video ( as always ) !! Great explorer ! You checked out all you could see !!! l loved every second of it kept me wondering what you would find next !! And I completely understand about not going any further. ( and so should everyone else ) it's flooded for one thing and very slick you did a AWESOME job !! Thank you for sharing this with us very cool history I love it ! BIG THUMBS WAY UP👍👍👍👍 KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK !!
Great explore guys!! There definitely isn’t a shortage of abandoned coal mines for some great videos!! You never disappoint JP and Cliff!! Thank You 👍🏻❤️
Thanks for a great video I actually enjoy you stopping and giving information as you ran across it. It's the way many people would do in a 1 to 1 situation speaking and refreshingly natural. Nice to have something presented in normal style not I'll say a generic public address type manner.
Like you, I find the coal mining history fascinating. My mother grew up in Mt. Carmel, and my dad was from Bloomsburg, so I really enjoy seeing your video exploring that area.
Very cool, nice video and I love stuff like this. One suggestion, if you could find the holes on the ties where the tie plates were attached and measure between them you could tell if it was a narrow or standard gage railroad.
😇🎄 Hi JP, What an Interesting and UNIQUE Adventure, and I was trying to envision, what this place would have looked like, back in the early forties { 1945 ??? 🤔 } I have a question for you, and I have been meaning to ask you this, have you ever taken a photography class, or does taking photos come naturally to you???, because your still shots of this place, are REALLY Awesome, as well as your other adventures, you have taken us to. Thank YOU for sharing another AWESOME Adventure.😊 Happy New Year to you and your family.🎉😊
I was a photographer before i started doing TH-cam. Not professionally, but above amateur. I actually am thinking about making a video on how i come to capture the photos i take.
I believe you found the Maysville Colliery. The Pennsylvania RR had a short branch running along the road just to the south of the site, that ran to the Scott Colliery in nearby Kulpmont. The ties you found were part of the loading spur that connected to the PRR branch at both ends (there are even rail cars visible on it in the '58 or '59 image).
Cool video! Coal had it a place in the making of this country. It fueled the birth of our industrial nation. I wouldn't be surprised if that area doesn't become one big sinkhole. That acid run-off is probably in the ground water. I agree with you that the concert building probably stored some blasting materials. It looked to me that it was double bricked. I couldn't really get a good look. 👍🏽
Hi Jay, I bet that site was bustling back in the day, it was a pretty impressive portal on that mine, it's not something you usually see. I hope you managed to get that orange muck off your boot. Some great photo's at the end there. Thank you for sharing this unique site. xx
Dear Jay, I wish you and your lovely family a happy and healthy new year! 🎉🥳🎊🎈 Thanks for all your gorgeous videos which I enjoy very much. Alles Liebe 💓🌟💞🌟💕
Great video! Loved learning about it a little more from your view. I was fascinated by the mine shaft even if you couldn't get far. Loved this video and keep it up!
Thanks for sharing this.I like seeing stuff like this.It really upsets me that people that people dump there trash out like that. You's did a good job as always ❤️
This was a very interesting video. I am interested in the mining industry as well. My grandfather worked in the mines around the Wilkes-Barre, Pa area for a good portion of his life. He took me to some of the mines that he worked in. I have to give you credit for going inside that mine-I don't think that I would have done it. You and Cliff did a great job.
Great explore and find!! I never was interested in coal mines until I started watching your videos! This was like a big puzzle and you did an excellent job fitting all of the pieces together to make one big picture...The Mine!! Seems like that was a big operation when it was up and running. It’s all so fascinating! Seeing the trees that the beavers were cutting down was incredible. Glad you didn’t go further into the mine! Your photo montage and music were excellent! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing video with us! Stay safe out there!! 😊 Happy New Year!!!🎉🥳🥂🍾
Hi I just recently subbed to your channe,I've been binge watching . You guy's are great, very interesting videos. I love the way you film ,keep them coming and be safe! ☺ ❤
Cool video. Lots of abandoned mines in the UP of Michigan also. Would like to see you do a video of abandoned Sugar Loaf Ski Resort near Cedar, Michigan.
Great video and ending photos. Surprised the mine hadn’t been sealed up better but at least you got to check it out. Orange boots, officially abandoned.
This place is so sweet. I would love to find an old mine to explore. The beavers really took a toll on those tree's You took some really nice shots. There is alot of things still left over there.
So many cool finds at this site! Excellent explore! Don't be concerned with anyone's adverse or annoying comments. Concentrate on the positive comments .... mine included 🙂👍
I like the way you explore. When I can't get out there myself I feel like I'm right there with you. I ponder similiar ideas as you did with the tracks. Regarding mines...I back you 100%...please do not enter on your own. Don't mess with any mine if you have no experience. I have some experience with old 1950's gold mines in the northern sierra nevada mtns. I was fortunate to talk to some of those old codgers in the 1970's.
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Learn so much from your adventures! My Mom always said you are not getting older when you learn something new each day. Definitely learn from watching your adventures!❣️
@@melissacarr1317 I am sorry to hear that your dad passed away from black lung. My husband's brother & nephew (they were dad & son) died in the coal mines with a roof fall crushing them. A lot of history with coal mining.
Every week when I'd go to the auto auctions in Mechanicsburg and York, PA I would see an old steam shovel right along 81 and I seem to recall there being a strip mine and various culm banks in the same general area. Maybe it was in that same area you're in now as I swear I heard traffic from a major roadway in an earlier part of the video (and more truck/traffic noise around 31:39 or so). Also lol @ Cliff with the ol' Dukes Of Hazzard climbing skills around 29:07, climbing out of the mine like the Duke boys would climb INTO the General Lee.
@@JPVideos81 So then in the vicinity of Centralia and the former location of the Schuylkill Mall then? Wasn't that one tipple that you and Cliff visited along 61 somewhere too? I just remember seeing the shovel along a bunch of trees on the right hand side of 81 south and don't really remember the exact location.

I love making these videos and seeing what used to exist at one time. Glad you enjoyed it.
I liked it. Glad you were 'safety first'! Thanks for showing us another slice of the world that most of us could never go see.
I grew up in PA hiking the woods with my parents. Love to see the woods, the mines. When you crunch through the woods it brings back good memories.

I think you done a great job and you was being as careful as you could..love seeing this
If you're ever out here in my neck of the woods there's some awesome places and mines I can show you. Happy new year JP!
Love the content. We have a lot of coal mines up my way near Scranton. It’s so interesting and yet the mines are so creepy lol. Keep up the great videos and congrats on the YT plaque 👍🏻
They still accessible? Many of them get gated up.
Actually I’m from old forge which is right outside of Scranton and yes the two that I’m aware of have big metal gates welded over the opening. You can still see inside but not very far. If I get a chance to get up that way sometime I’ll take some pics and send them to you.
I know of one off boulevard ave thats along the river bank and gated off.
Sorry to miss the premier, I was watching other TH-camr live feed. Regardless I love any content you produced. Have a wonderful new year!!!!
This place is so beautiful... And so much history.. Thanks JP
You wear whatever you want on your feet. Happy New Year to your family Cliff, and you. Love these mine videos. They take me back to my childhood.
Awesome location JP, glad you did follow up and checked it out. Great video and pictures !
This is a great video JPV. I love it. I wonder if you have ever dumpster dived before? Can you even do that in your neck of the woods? I see lots of videos on YT and was wondering if you have or ever will do that?

Unfortunately the acid mine water directly above it will keep that mine filled up.
Enjoyed your video, JP and Cliff

I was thinking of the tie length---completely forgot about spike holes and/or tie plate adzes. Good catch!

Great explore, especially liked the photo montage.
I went inside a silver mine years back, about 5 miles in, underground, and its very hard to breath, and very eerie.
They are so interesting and amazing, but full of danger.
So interesting!!! That door looks so cool!! Great find and explore!! Thank you!!!🇨🇦🇺🇲💕

Dear Jay, I wish you and your lovely family a happy and healthy new year! 🎉🥳🎊🎈 Thanks for all your gorgeous videos which I enjoy very much. Alles Liebe 💓🌟💞🌟💕
Same to you
I feel bad for the beavers, that they have to live in that dirty water.
So cool! I share your love of history. Doing the detective work. Trying to imagine what once was. I find it fascinating!! Thanks JP!!!
You're very welcome

Cool video. Lots of abandoned mines in the UP of Michigan also. Would like to see you do a video of abandoned Sugar Loaf Ski Resort near Cedar, Michigan.
Not sure when ill get to Michigan, but i know there's lots to explore there.
Interesting location. I always recommend to anyone never go exploring alone no matter where you go. Always bring another person. 👍
Probably the best advice that can be given.
Great video and ending photos. Surprised the mine hadn’t been sealed up better but at least you got to check it out. Orange boots, officially abandoned.

This place is so sweet. I would love to find an old mine to explore. The beavers really took a toll on those tree's You took some really nice shots. There is alot of things still left over there.
Its always fun to find places like this hidden in the woods.
Really enjoyed watching great explore guys🖒🖒🖒

We lived in Martin County Kentucky, lots of coal mines now closed, once very prosperous.. my husband hauled coal for a while.
