Ghosts Of Dunbar Pennsylvania..PA .History & Stuff thats gone (and still here) 6 min. walk tour

Sorry for the low tech production, but if you get a nice Saturday sometime, take a ride down to Dunbar Pennsylvania (car or bike trail) and you will stand in the center of the universe for enriched Western Pennsylvania history, from manufacturing, coal and coke heritage, and street cars. See an authentic Coke oven constructed from original never used bricks, see where two train stations for the Pennsylvania RR, Western Maryland and the B & O used to service, and see a small town celebrate its history through the efforts of the very active Dunbar Historical Society...see more at www.dunbarhistoricalsociety.com and as always see great stills at www.stuffthatsgone.com

What a great video. I'll post it to Connellsville youtube and Facebook accounts. You do mention Connellsville. What a leap through history! Qman, you have a great library of videos.

@Connellsville15425  I am honored, and thank you for enjoying...

well put together. The trolley tracks were taken up, no doubt with haste, just a GM planned. I mean its one thing to stop the train service but pulling up the tracks. Then GM was taken to court and given a hand slapping for the damage they did to numerous towns.

I definately prefer the before shots. Think of how cool it would be to come upon a town like that today, with few of our technological advances, like high speed internet and computer.

Thanks for posting.

@StMeade that is the second time I have heard the GM story in the past month. Makes sense unfortunately. GM was bigger than the government in the 1950's. In Pittsburgh that was really true. PAT Transit was created from several small independent bus and trolley companies, and their first order of the day was to kill trolley service in 1964, so they could buy several (GM) buses.

Good video. In Dunbar my grandfather was born in 1884. With the best greeting from Werner from Dresden.
