Burning since 1962, the Centralia mine fire followed an anthracite vein southward about a 1/2 mile from where the fire started and caused the land to heave and shift under the highway, destroying it. In 1994 this four lane section of PA 61 was abandoned and bypassed by an two lane upgraded logging road.
At this point the ground sank about two feet causing a wall like obstacle in the road.

As far as Centralia is concerned, the end already came. The town was taken by the state and and resident bought out. A few remained. In 2010, only five homes remain as state officials try to vacate the remaining residents and demolish what is left of the town. The remaining residents are mounting another legal effort to reverse the 1992 eminent domain claim.
As far as the underground fire goes, it's still burning and moving in four directions. Estimates are it could burn another 100-1000 years. In that span of time what more might it consume? The nearby cemetery? A neighboring town?

A stretch of PA-61 which has been closed off to traffic because... well... you can see that for yourself.

Ude i vƦrkstedet sagde Bjarne og jeg hej til Tadeusz Dziadzid pƄ 61 fra Polen. Han gƄr under navnet "Teddy" og er tillidsmand.
Han fortalte om, hvor vigtigt det er at tage godt imod nye medarbejdere. Tadeusz har specielt hjulpet med at byde de polske medarbejdere, der pƄ et tidspunkt var tilknyttet Bobach, velkommen.
Every coal town in the Commonwealth has taken a hit from the decline of the coal industry, but none have seen a quicker and more drastic demise than Centralia, Pennsylvania.
We are looking north towards the intersection of PA 61, 42, and Big Mine Run Road, once the site of a town the size of about 2,000. Sometime in the 1960s, a fire erupted in the abandoned coal mines below, igniting an enormous coal reserve underneath the city. Over the years, the fire sent toxic gases through the ground, eventually deeming a hazard to the residents of the town, and in 1983, the government forced the residents to relocate.
By 1992, most of the city was razed, leaving behind enormous empty lots and a maze of abandoned streets. Today, the fire has moved out of the city, and nature has taken its course on the ghost town.

Wow!!! I haven't seen a Red and White Market in YEARS!! There used to be one south of Schuylkill Haven, PA along PA 61 but that is probably long gone by now. This sign is going up in the 2nd floor of the Country Store.
The fire damaged a large section of PA route 61, several attempts to fix the road were completed but ultimately the road was closed and rerouted a little further south. Since then it has become the art grounds for many. For some reason there are hundreds of penis's drawn everywhere. Groups marked the trip by placing the year they visited and others doing the same. While I was there people managed to get cars, 4-wheelers, and bikes on the road and drove up and down. Luckily it was a nice day and wasn't bad to just walk up and down it.
PA-61 in Centralia, PA. This section was closed due to fissures and heaving from the mine fire under the town.

Centralia is a borough in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. As a result of a 40-year-old mine fire burning beneath the borough Centralia is now the least-populous municipality in Pennsylvania with just 9 residents remaining. The borough once had seven churches, five hotels, twenty-seven saloons, two theatres, a bank, post office, and fourteen general and grocery stores. During most of the borough's history, when coal mining activity was being conducted, the town had a population in excess of 2,000 residents.
An exposed vein of coal ignited in 1962 due to the standard policy of burning the garbage on a weekly basis in the borough landfill, located in an abandoned mine pit in the southeast portion of Centralia. Attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful, and it continued to burn throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Adverse health effects were reported by several people due to the carbon monoxide produced.
State-wide attention to the fire began to increase, culminating in 1981 when 12-year-old Todd Domboski fell into a four foot wide by 150 foot deep sinkhole that suddenly opened beneath his feet. He was saved after his older cousin pulled him from the mouth of the hole before he could plunge to his probable death. The incident brought national attention to Centralia as an investigatory group (including a state representative, a state senator, and a mine safety director) were coincidentally on a walking tour of Domboski's neighborhood at the time of his near-death incident.
Route 61 has been rerouted around the abandoned portion. However, the underground fire is still burning and will continue to do so for the indefinite future. There are no current plans to extinguish the fire, which is consuming an eight-mile seam containing enough coal to fuel it for 250 years.

Curbs at the side of the street are mostly the only evidence of the houses that once stood on now-vacant lots.
Near the cemetary, this hill (apparently inspiration for the videogame/movie franchise "Silent Hill") still features active holes spewing exhaust from the fire below.
