These are pictures from our missions to the Eddy Tunnel in Pennsylvania. This mine is in the Northern Antracite Field. This is a dangerous mine with a pretty weak ceiling. We don't go back here anymore.

Entrance to the Eddy Tunnel. The entrance is partially backfilled.



Looking out of the Eddy Tunnel.



Mine researchers ready to go in proceed.



Looking down the tunnel



Another view above the railroad tracks



One of the first rooms we encounter in the mine.



Banks and Chris near a bunch of props.



A view into the workings of this mine.



Another view into the workings. To the right is an air door.



Viewing the air door straight on



A view of works from inside of this room. It is believed that this room may have been used formerly as an air lock.



Chris filming the mine



View looking down the haulage way. UGM arrows can be seen on the walls pointing to the exit.



It is believed that this room may have been closed off and used for storing explosives.



Inside of the room, while very caved, evidence of white walls can be found around the rock falls.



This tunnel goes towards the air shaft to the mine.



Chris films Banks explaining about the air shaft. The back filled air shaft is to the right.



Gobb rock used to control air flow in the mine. This door goes into the workings.



Ahead are more workings for the mine. An old air pipe can be seen going into the workings.



Old wall used to control water flow in the mine.



Ancient photo found of a miner with an oil wick lamp.



Another old miner who surprisingly has a comfo cap and a soft cap with an oil wick lamp. This proves that technology is no match for the brightness of an oil wick lamp.



View of mine researchers under the air bridge found in the Eddy Tunnel



Looking to the left, an entrance into the workings and a way to get to the air bridge of the mine.



Looking inside of the air bridge.



A very rusted 55 gallon drum found inside of workings of the mine.



Walking through the workings of the mine.



Gobb rock surrounding props.


Two mine researchers attempting to stand inside of the workings of the mine.



Banks standing next to a robbed pillar of the mine. I wouldn't do that if I were him!



Braveness wearing off, mine researchers starting their exit of this mine.



Nice view of more props of the mine.



Looking backwards at a Y off of the mine.



Again heading back out of the mine.



Near the entrance of the mine. Time for the climb out.
