Abandoned Glenburn Coal Mine Shamokin, Pa

[@markhine4020]

Near its end of production my dad, John Hine , was owner of it all. He and a friend/co worker named tony shetroma(not sure od spelling) started those tours. I used to be allowedvtto accompany dad into the mine. And everyday we would walk 1000s of feet back to the generator room to start the generators for lights n fans and water pumps. It was alot of fun as i was maybe like 9 or 10 yrs old. Great memories. I wish you could have gotten inside the mine itself. It was really cool in there. Thanks for the rememberances...

I took the glenburn mine tour back in the early 70's with my parents! Loved it! It was a working coal mine at the time! You could pay a fee for which we did, which would take you deep in the mine while actual work was being done, they would take you down in these little yellow mine cars that had fencing around what would be the window area. Awesome memories...

Just came back to check on this, i was shocked. This is doing really well on your channel. Guess its safe to say that this isnt a bad direction to head in.

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

It started off slow, but is starting to climb now. I agree, I have actually gained some subs from it already! I will try to post these type of videos as often as I can.

Nice explore!

[@nevetslegasi5686]

I would NOT go down into that opening. Holy crap those rocks look just ready to fall and lock you in

Bernie's Model Railroad Back when they started the tour which ended quick I wanted to get up and take the Tour! I was told by someone who worked there that the mine had 5 Levels and was around 5,000 feet deep.

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

WOW! I can't even begin to imagine what it was like in its heyday.

Light blue centrifugel water pump. Discharge out top line suction out lower. That what was .

[@buddylight2191]

Those machines don't look super old maybe the mid 60's to sometime in the 70's?

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

I agree, some of the equipment there looks it may even be a bit newer than that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Bernie

Someone could make a fortune if they scrapped all that iron! I would have at least nabbed some coal. It's free, and no one cares anymore.
