Vestaburg, PA mine Prep Plant. A series of pictures of deconstruction. Vesta #5

One of the things I find interesting is the dismantling of once proud operations like this mine.  Below are a series of pictures taken over the past 2 years of Vesta number 5.

A giant thank you to coalcampusa.com for the first few pictures.

As always, click on the small picture to enlarge.

Below pictures from COAL CAMP USA


Note the small building on the left, near the railing.


Why I like Bing maps..... If you play w/ angles and distances, you get images taken at different times. In the second picture, you can see the deconstruction in progress.
