Is this the mine Joe Biden worked in?

Just found a family ancestor who emmigrated to USA from England in 1880. Her husband was listed on the US 1880 census (Jermyn Boro, Lackawanna, Pen.) as being a coal miner although he was home with a cold the day the census was taken!! Nice to be able to imagine where and how he would have worked. He and his wife ended up living in Cuba city, Fulton, Illinois although he was still listed as a coal miner. Thank s Christian

[superemposed]

is mining jobs plentyfull in the USA?

[deroo552]

@superemposed It depends on where your at and what your mining for. i work in a coal mine in johnstown Pennsylvania. we have a good bit of mines around here. lots of jobs needed because many abandoned mines are now reopening.

[superemposed]

@deroo552 jeez, i wish i lived in the USA pennsylvania, i always wanted a career in Coal mining but this Goverment made sure that they would all close never to re open.

[WillyWonkaTheSnail]

@superemposed No you don't. I mean, having a mining job is cool and all, but expect nothing else. PA has mines and trains, which are both becoming useless.

Also if you make it to western PA come check out Seldom Seen Mine. We will show you how soft coal is mined.

Nice video!! Try the Bellevue mine in Crowsnest pass, Alberta next time :) I went there for a tour today. It was awesome!

[PhilippineJeann]

Thanks for this video! I was never in a mine myself and appreciated watching this! Jeann's husband..

[longliveluigi]

i've taken this tour too many times to count as a child. i miss it.

[hootinouts]

I took this tour twice and I would highly recommend it.

[JesseBoom700]

the coal region is awesome. I ride dirt bike on the old waste piles at trevoton pa. I also do do alot of trail riding you'll see some old torn down building, old rail cars, old quarrys holes that are filled with water, a few old mineshafts and vent shafts that aren't sealed off. Went down the one mine shaft and you can either go left or right at the bottom. We didn't have a bright enough flashlight for that though. Its awesome seeing all the old history up there .

Thanks so much for posting this. My son has been learning about coal mines, and it was very educational.

[quadder88]

i live a few miles from here and its sweet. i recommend going here!

[garzaedu]

being a south texas guy, I went to pennsylvania and took this tour and it was awesome! A little scary being underground that long...miners were crazy to do this job!! I highly recommend it.

[thelazycomic]

I've always wanted to go on one of these mine tours. This video was really informative. I will have to make a point to go on one of the mine tours soon.
