Huber Breaker is sold to a scrap co.

Drove by the Huber Breaker in Ashley PA with Tomustang to see what's left. Only the main breaker and power house remain. They will be coming down in the spring. This shot is how the breaker complex looked up till the 1950's when the foreign coal dump was built to the left of the main building. There coal from other mines would be dumped and carried into the breaker. From the foot of this complex an inclined railroad called the Ashley Plains carried all the eastbound freight on the Jersey central. It also hosted the worlds largest rail yard dedicated to coal. The CNJ's "back track" was built around the Plains and mountains during the second world war to speed up east bound traffic flow.    

And a shot of the front gate that was not visible from the street till just recently.
