Shellhammer’s ice dam would be an interesting video. Not sure what’s left back there but about 20 years ago it still had a few buildings plus the ice house was sort of recognizable.

You're right on the boiler. Heat goes through the boiler tubes. From the firebox and exits out the other end to your exhaust. Another great video! Gotta come down from Lehighton and check that out.

I remember years back before that fence was installed at the entrance to the tunnel.

Looks like an old firetube boiler minus the shell and doors. Any chance of finding the builders plate or national board number stamped on the external side of the pressure vessel.

All sold to China, even ghe coal in tjis area is shipped to china and they have bituminus coal mines. Anthracite is cleaner and burns hotter though.

Could the concrete on the ground at around 12:00 be for a large water tank to supply the boiler?
