Here is the main reason on why this section of PA 61 was by-passed. The heat from the underground mine fire caused the road to buckle.
Now looking north, at the north end of the abandoned PA 61. the large pile of dirt seen here is to prevent cars from traveling onto here.
Cracks and fissures along the old State Route 61 in Centralia. The pressure of the coal fire below causes the roadway to warp, buckle, and fracture.
Southbound PA 61 leading to Ashland at the bottom of the hill. Even with this scary sign posted I have seen tourists out walking this hill.
Tucked away in the woods off of PA 61 near Mount Carmel is the old Shamokin & Mount Carmel Electric Railway's Green Hill Carbarn. The railway ceased operation in the 1930's, but this building has been used by descendants of the railway continuously, most recently King Coal Tours. After the recent legal action against the owner, it is for sale. Anyone want a Carbarn?

Comet 56P/Slaughter-Burnham was discovered by C. D. Slaughter and R. Burnham, Jr. at Lowell Observatory, Arizona, USA on 1959-Jan-27 at magnitude 16 on photographic plates exposed on 1958-Dec-10 during the course of the Proper Motion Survey.
The comet was recovered for the 2016 passage on July 24, 2015 at magnitude 20.7 by F51 – Pan-STARRS 1, Haleakala.
56P passed perihelion on July 18, 2016 at 2.509 AU. 56P is a Jupiter-family Comet with orbital period of 11.5 years.
Earth makes its closest approach to this comet on 2016-Nov-20 at 1.727 AU. The comet should fade after that. Seiichi Yoshida gives asymmetric light curve with respect to perihelion date.
