My grandfathers were miners. I never worked in the mines. Edenborn was closed before I was born in 1945. Can anyone give me a idea of how big these mines actually were? How deep? How wide? It is surprising how very little real information there is out there. From maps I can scrape together online, I imaging the mines cover nearly the whole underground landscape of southwest PA & West Virginia.

You will see BRAND road on the left, the mine is past there on the left, right on the road. You can't miss it.E T Williams 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04524731120964667099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313728863646854771.post-82061971015676361442013-07-31T21:36:30.720-04:002013-07-31T21:36:30.720-04:00i meant rt 21 not rt 88 sorryi meant rt 21 not rt 88 sorryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313728863646854771.post-31781676487754945962013-07-31T21:34:59.166-04:002013-07-31T21:34:59.166-04:00where exactly is this at i took celon road from rt...where exactly is this at i took celon road from rt 88 and i cant find it is it gone or is it after the road splits off i didnt go up that far<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313728863646854771.post-14160628039476505762012-04-15T20:53:13.812-04:002012-04-15T20:53:13.812-04:00I worked at Robena, and fire bossed in 1981and 198...I worked at Robena, and fire bossed in 1981and 1982, U.S.S. had a 1 man bucket at the Hartley shaft, and I had to ride it in and out on my run, it was one large mine in it's day, people would not believe the size of that place, and I got to tour a large underground repair shop at Hartley bottom the size of witch was unbelievable with overhead cranes and tool rooms and locker room and bath room. There was so much coal left at that mine it's a shame, Consol Energy bought it and closed it down, leaving millions of dollers worth of equipment and machinery inside to rot away. You see you need Long wall equipment now to get the coal out faster and with less people and with the way Robena was developed it had to be mine machines and not Long walled To costly so it was shut down, costing a lot of good men their jobs. I've been gone from Robena sence 1982, and I still miss some of the old Gentleman that I got to work with, but have remained friends with some great guys that I met there. This has brought back lots of old memories and made me sad.Robert L Palonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313728863646854771.post-65614873421548501622011-11-07T08:43:54.424-05:002011-11-07T08:43:54.424-05:00Its such a shame to see the ruins of what was once...Its such a shame to see the ruins of what was once a booming industry. Abandoned, crumbling and covered with graffiti...it just sickens me that no one could or would take the time to preserve our areas history starting with these buildings. Still it is nice to see them on here.Jennifer (Kerr) Turconoreply@blogger.com
