Yes, the information is correct. The tunnel shown is on the Bear Valley side (Southwest of Valley View, PA) and that is area where the coal came from and was transported through the tunnel to the Williamstown side where the breaker and the train branch lines were located. The Williamstown breaker was once the biggest coal producing breaker in the world by tonnage (on record) in the early 1900s. My uncle and father worked in the breaker as breaker boys. Also, in the early days (1900s), people would ride the tunnel cars from the Bear Valley settlements to Williamstown and back. The large steel portal face (prior Kimmel mine) shown earlier was directed by the state to be removed (2022). Coal is still being removed today about 1/2 mile from there on the Williamstown side further up the mountain. Active deep mines are also located in Bear Valley as well as strip mining. "Rumors" to the eventual tunnel closing (blown shut) was long after the coal use was put to an end but was still open and rumors abound such as a car chase in the late 1940s or early 1950s with local police where they raced through the tunnel.

Hi This is the first video i have seen of yours and its very interesting, the Channel you are standing by the long channel was probably from the big Wheel that was used to hoist the coal to the top of the hill. The pilons behind the structure were used as supports for very long cables so the wheel housing would be structurally sound and not fall over there are the center of the wheel supports on either side of where the wheel would sit the wheel was probable 50 feet in diameter. There is still a lot of coal veins in that tunnel, there is probably enough there to last for a very long time, unfortunately coal isn't used much today because of the environmental damage in the production and burning of the coal. Thanks for sharing this has been very interesting. Please stay safe while your out on explorations like these. Stay safe and God bless.

That "hoist house" I can almost guarantee that the 7' deep slot was where a huge flywheel was housed. The "notch" you walked through would have been the bearing block supports. Whether it would have been for a steam engine or primitive internal combustion, I wouldn't know without studying the site myself. Also it's function is unknown from what little I can gather from the video, but could have been multi-use, (hoist, air compressor, and/or water evacuation pumps) as making the most of a single boiler would be the most efficient. Edit: 34:08 Oh, I see headframe foundations behind you. So at very least, a hoisthouse.

It was part of the main hoist for the unsorted coal fresh out of the mines. The breaker structure was like six stories tall. For a time it was the world's largest Anthracite breaker even bigger than similar in Wales.

JP. They did mine their way through the mountain and the Williamstown tunnel served dual purpose. It was intentionally backfilled when the State aquired the property. I know, I live 12 miles down 209 from Williamstown. My Pappy on my Mom's side worked there back in the Day. He worked in the Lykens and Hegins mines to.

That is pretty cool. Even with the remnants of the workings, it is still hard to imagine the amount of activity during its period of operation. One thing other explorers should note is that you guys actually used hard hats. There are so many KZbin videos where people explore caves, mine shafts, and even above-ground buildings wearing tennis shoes and baseball hats and are dependent on their cell phones for light. Of course, a hard hat won't protect from a 500-pound boulder releasing from the back of a shaft, but it may help identify where you took your last breath.

Five thumbs up! Spelunkers and tunnel diggers. History buffs on the move. From your videos, I am always impressed by the ingenuity of man to fulfill a need. Working out ways to pass coal through tunnels, or whatever. Your videos bring a different alternative to the “Take it all down and waste it” methods we have today. By the way, there was a man in Blossburg, PA by the name of Keith Linde who probably could have told you all about those tunnels and what they were for. A very knowledgeable person who knew first hand what it meant to be a coal miner. Sad to say he’s passed away. Hopefully you will come across other like him who will help you.

What a fascinating explore! Your opening shots are spot on in this tour! The first thing out of my mouth when I saw your companion crawling out of the ground was an uncontrollable "NOPE!" Oh, Hell NO!" Complete trigger for my claustrophobia anxiety. I know it's all in the mind but it's a weakness nonetheless. After seeing the relating footage at the end I was able to determine that it would be an excellent and most appreciated place to hide from various issues like monsters or extreme weather. I find it to be an interesting study between this video and your last, though. Upon first sight of your basement embalming room my first thoughts were "Heck Yes!!", while more understandably most people would be naturally withdrawn from such an environment. This is definitely my little sister's type of explore, for sure. She'd flip over this entire trip! She likes to go down to the Mississippi river at St.Anthony Main in Mpls to explore inside the rock face (not sure what's in there) but because it's in the city so do many others so the accesses are often welded or locked shut over and over again. The Hiawatha mining caves in St. Paul were later used as speakeasys during prohibition and have been popular explore sites ever since. It got bad enough that they permanently filled in all but one due to the dangers and turned the last into a restaurant. The first mention of having to squeeze sideways for many grueling feet to reach the great halls was enough for me to never make it there myself. I can't help but think that so much of those ruins you explored toward the end could be reused. Definitely the massive limestone blocks, but the site where the walls were 8 ft thick could be used for protective storage or Something. It floors me how many structures are just Sitting around the world. I guess it worries me more to think of they day that we are forced into using them due to lack of space. Anyway, another incredible adventure that, truth be told, I didn't hold high hopes for. I was riveted the entire time! Thank you again!!

Looks like somebody, years ago, built that cribbing under where it's going to collapse. Who, or better yet why, would someone take the time to do that? There's more questions that answers in that tunnel! Good Video! Oh, most tunnels have what I have known as "Barrels" at the entrances to prevent cave in's. Then you get to the rough or "rock shot" portions where there's no lining. I bet those timbers way back in were added support where they make have found a weak spot that needed added support.

You only have to ring the bell when you subscribe. Just make sure you choose "all" when you click the bell.

Awesome brick and stone work in the tunnel strange the one end is brick and the other stone. Would a hoist house need a cooling system of any kind? Just guessing as I don’t have any clue, (don’t go there JP... lol), but maybe all the trenches were some sort of water cooling system? Bet the underground bunker was for explosive storage, by the way margarine works as good as butter! Lol. Awesome explore and gave thumbs up as always!

A hoist house doesnt require any cooling. Not certain that it was indeed a hoist house. The channels definitely served a purpose. Just one of many unanswered questions.

evp @ 11:31-11:35 a couple breathy words while you're at the top of the arch. Interesting. Another @ 12:40-12:41 I'm pretty good at deciphering evp. It's been a specialty of mine for a number of years. To me the spirit says "look at this place". It's said in a rapid cadence of the 4 words. Makes me wonder if it is a spirit that came along with you guys or if it was just telling you to check it out cause it's cool. :) Next one is a different, younger voice @ 15:28-15:29 commenting on your remarks about the roof coming down eventually. There's actually 5 or 6 seconds worth of spirit conversation around that time but it's all mixed in with the background noise. Something about the 'next part.....will be???' 15:52-15:54 more talking.... I'll leave the rest for someone else to find unless you want me to do more. :) Cool adventure.
