Not (directly) trains: Huber falls

If industrial architecture, American industry or anthracite mining history is your thing, well... let's just say this isn't a fun thing to watch. Glen Alden Coal Company's Huber Colliery (once part of the DL&W RR empire) was known worldwide as one of the best early examples of the International style of architecture. And now it is a pile of scrap. This video shows the destruction of one of the three largest structures on site.

It is not a stretch to say this is one of the top ten most significant industrial losses of this young century.

Indeed. Sigh.
