The Saint Nicholas Coal Breaker in Mahanoy City, PA

Описание к видео The Saint Nicholas Coal Breaker in Mahanoy City, PA

Once one of the largest coal breakers in the world, the historic Saint Nicholas Breaker is now in the process of being dismantled because it was deemed too expensive to restore this 20th century relic and turn it into a historic attraction. Built in 1931, the Saint Nicholas Breaker could produce up to 12,500 tons of coal a day and sounded like thunder when it was in full operation. After closing in 1965 after the decline in the coal market, it sat shuttered for over 50 years. In May of 2015, the dismantling process began. Although most of the structure has been removed, what remains is still a very impressive sight.
