Anyone know where I can find some pictures of anthracite breakers (collieries to non-anthracite coal people)? The pictures I have are mostly defunct breakers. I’m trying to find pictures of operational ones, from the 1950s up to the 1990s. Yes there are still working anthracite mines in Pennsylvania today.

Nick,
This might be a good place to start. The images seem to be of defunct breakers but there are links and a discussion forum. Good luck.
I believe that at www.undergroundminers.com they have a few pages of pics from the days when some of the breakers were still doin’ what they did best.
Hello,
I’m not sure exactly what type of information your looking but the club I belong to is modeled after the P.R.R., READING, and LEGHIGH. if you need just pictures of breakers you should be able to find them on our web site.
