St. Nicholas Coal Breaker
MAHANOY CITY, PA
November 2010.
Once run by the Reading Anthracite Company,
this plant broke coal down into commercially-desirable sizes and removed
imperfections from the coal. This breaker, outside Mahanoy City, PA, opened in
1932 and ceased operation in 1963. The breaker and power plant are remarkably
well-preserved, inside and out.
