You spent a lot of time on Shenandoah. My parents were from Shenandoah, but as a family we lived in Frackville. My mother still resides there and I live in the township up the road from her house. Although the borough was so dependent on the coal and garment industry which have declined, it is still making efforts to keep the town alive. They have some amazing grant-writers and always seem to have a new revitalization project being undertaken.
Thank you for this short video. Of the towns you have mentioned, I have been to 5 of them many, many times. i think there are 4 houses left in Centralia.

[@travelawaitsyou]

Being from the coal region especially Mount Carmel you're not showing accurate photos of the town

[@travelawaitsyou]

can you please elaborate which images are not accurate!?

[@shanenice5380]

I used to lived closed to mount Carmel,from minersville pa

[@danielfrancella5219]

McKeesport , Johnstown , Duquesne, and glassport. Any town along rte 837 , outside of Pittsburgh.

[@yvonneplant9434]

It shocked me how bad Johnstown is. My goodness. 😢

[@danielfrancella5219]

@@yvonneplant9434 I stopped in Johnstown once. It was pretty bad.

The photo of Mt Carmel at 5.50 is from Wheeling WV! Fact check...

[@dmllr5615]

the South Carolina stock photo in a PA video is a nice touch. Also Lock Haven certainly isn't the center of the universe but to put it higher on the list than Mount Carmel wow! I enjoyed the video though.

[@billygames9161]

Actually the towns in pennsylvania are boroughs.

[@LawyerCalhoun1]

Renovo. The principal employer was the Pennsylvania Railroad which had a large repair facility . It closed over 50 years ago and, being near the Susquehanna River, much of the town is subject to flooding.

[@GregorioP4r4g]

Also check out Tyrone, PA in Blair County.

Byrnesville, Pennsylvania is another coal mining town that is completely gone.
Centralia's mune fire on May 27, 1962 happened because when burning the landfill to clean up the area for Memorial Day activities, a mine that did not get capped allowed the embers from burning the trash to ignite the coal.

[@billtownbiker]

Lock Haven really???? You should have done Renovo. Lock Haven is a college town and was hardly ever known for it's lumber. I've lived in both Renovo and Lock Haven. Lock Haven is the reason Renovo was forgotten about. Oppression.

[@davestrang8585]

Clymer and beaver falls

[@alfaluvr83]

*Quieter. Semantics for mostly abandoned.

[@baxter6920]

That is not how the fire in Centralia started

[@macsloan58]

Brookville Pennsylvania

[@fuggintall]

You forgot Bingen.

[@travelawaitsyou]

Because its forgotten lol

[@brucewayne0219]

probably all sundown towns.

[@travelawaitsyou]

:/

My late father was born in Pittston. 7 members of my family worked on the Lehigh Valley railroad from about 1868 up to 1976 when it became Conrail.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Thought those were only in the south.

[@charlescolemansr-pq3ig]

You didn't list Danville

[@travelawaitsyou]

this is a list of 7 only. there are many more to be covered. let us know if you want 2nd part, we will try to cover this as well.

[@hightops77]

I thought for sure johnstown was going to be on here 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SummerLovesLilac]

I live there💀 me too

[@MissRailfan]

centraila- i think a pile of garbage was burning and then the ground gave way below to the coal underground. The white church is on solid rock, so it will remain forever.
brownsville-- its pronounced monon-ga-he-la
braddock as much of pittsburgh's western towns are all the same.duquesne is the same across the river
mt carmel clip, you reversed the clip of driving thru town? thats odd....
lock haven, i live 10mins from lh, and its dual but busy downtown.
you forgot clearfield, johnstown, RENOVO. all but jtown are along the same river as lh. renovo is the worst of them on the river. jtown is simply jinxed, forgotten steel mill town.

Lock Haven is home to Lock Haven State College which is keeping the town alive.😊

[@travelawaitsyou]

Barely.
