Nice shots.  Old industrial sites hold endless fascination for me. 
There are quite a few interesting old facilities spread throughout the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania - access to many is a bit iffy since
there are state laws restricting access to mining sites.  One site
that I find fascinating is the St Nicholas Coal Breaker outside of
Mahoney City.  When it was built in the 1930's, it was the largest
facility of its kind in the world when it was built in the 1930's.  In
April, some folks from the underground miners group
(undergroundminers.com) are planning a tour of the facility in April
with the permission of the owner, Reading Anthracite.  Rumor has it
that there are plans to make a museum out of the place.
