Blaschak Coal Breaker - Mahanoy City, PA 

Crushing coal, sizing the coal, cleaning coal, sending the coal to market.

@@judeodomhnaill9711 Pretty apparent but what I meant was what processes were we seeing. What was the equipment we were looking at and what it was doing in the process. Just some idea of HOW it got out the doors.

@@rogerhuber3133 your last name shares the name of one of the most famous Anthracite Coal breakers ironically.

F. Yeah it is, they have the blue Marion.

Avoirdupois, unfortunately.

@@filthyphillyboy Your supposed to say we use Jawn.

Is she stile working ? Or depressing meaning it shut down ?

@@mobiletech6289 the county still produces coal, and blaschack might be one of the only breakers out there since locust sumit and st. Nicks shut down. But yeah its still in operation, but the county on a whole is deppressing.

Gotcha

Then stay the hell out of there.

@@gmonynegro595 I try my hardest. The county where im from isnt exactly putting on heirs, so I can't really throw stones

I don't know all the history-- I think there was an OLD St Nicholas that was demolished? This one is Blaschak St Nicholas breaker on W Centre St, Mahanoy City... Video was in 2008. I don't know when it was built, but my father and grandfather worked there at least as far back as the 70s or 80s so it's been around awhile.

A great coal family tradition operated and headed up by a young woman.

Very cool... interesting stuff..ty

@TheChristofurg actually it's an MSHA nightmare
