The Huber Breaker
The Glen Alden Coal Company’s Huber anthracite breaker stands silent in this 1983 view. The breaker, which separated the hard coal from rock, and then sorted it for loading in railroad hoppers, processed Glen Alden’s Blue Coal brand. The huge facility, which could process 7000 tons of coal per day, was served by the Jersey Central, and was abandoned in 1976. Efforts to save the structure, located near the base of CNJ's Ashley planes in Ashley, Pennsylvania, ended in 2014, when it was demolished.
