The Old St. Nicholas Coal Breaker 

beautiful photos. I climbed to the top by myself a couple times and wrote my name inside one of the electrical boxes hoping this would stand another 20 years for my kids to see. thann you for documenting this for history’s sake.

I live near this breaker and ride ATVs past it every so often and every time I look at the place it reminds me of a much simpler time when the Coal Mining industry was booming and is a peice of history and it helped make this area what it is today. This peice of history should never be torn down at any time or forgotten.

This breaker is about 20 min from my house, I have spent hundreds of hours exploring it and the many out buildings over the years, sadly they are tearing it down. Really it should be saved as a historical landmark of the industrial age in America!

Nice job on capturing the art in abandonment. I have a strong interest in preserving the history of anthracite coal mining, here in northeastern Pa. I've been to the Old St Nick Breaker a few times and every time I go there, I see something new.

Extremely well produced video!! Conveys a real mood, well, well done!

Thank You for preserving the last bit of of our heiratige

Amazing photography...pictures can easily inspire a thousand words....

My Mother's hometown, beautiful video. Lots of great childhood memories visiting my grandparents there. My family back many generations worked the mine and my great grandfather and great great grandfather died in the mines.

I went to kindergarten and 1st grade right across the road from the breaker. They still ran partial shifts there, and I was mesmerized by the equipment. St. Nicholas School was destroyed by fire in 1985.

blood sweat & tears, those tuff Anthracite Coal Miners

Great HDR work. Nice video editing too.

Hand in a glove fit. GOOD job!

wow this is amazing! i wonder what it's like today, hopefully not completely destroyed!

this place is def amazing i was there taking photos a few months ago for 5 hours and only made it to 2nd floor!? so much to document...every moving video..next stop Ashley Huber Breaker:)

@miragebym well thats good I hope you go back there sometime I wonder if the Adler Hotel has a piano I really like abandoned places with piano's

Excellent video and great job preserving what was lost and stolen. Should have been saved or at least Locust Summit. We will NEVER ever see the likes of the great machinery or industry we once had nor the infrastructure we had. The younger generation has NO IDEA how much has been fleeced and stolen from us. Not only our money, but accumulated wealth left for us by previous generations because of what they built, nor sadly the once great society, of real community, quality of life, etc etc. Its truely sad 😥

it surely is... I go past it quiet often

this song sounds familiar it sounds like the song from the hotel adler video We will live forever

centralia was very dissapointing? and WOW this looks amazing! i will be up there easter weekend, if anyone would like to join...

I went here on a date with an Aquarius.

@miragebym Oh I hoping there would be

@miragebym Oh wow I have a question how is that hotel? the one with the tacky wall paper?

is this accessable still? some uer's and myself are planning a trip, do you have any suggestions on where to park, how to get in etc....

is this place still there?

does this still stand there or did they tear it down

I've got a question! That Reading Anthracite sign you took a picture of, was that on the ground floor of the breaker? Or one of the many other buildings out there? I live in Schuylkill County and have been there a few times, very fascinating to think about what they place looked liked in it's better days.

класс! прямо как в россии!
