| April, 2002: The Cogeneration plant, or "Co-Gen",
on Silverbrook
Mountain, picture taken looking southward from the Silverbrook Road.
Cogeneration utilities reclaim and use the waste coal and culm left behind
by the old inefficient mine works. It's burned to produce steam and electricity. |
April, 2002: Looking east at the site of the old Silverbrook
mine works, earliest (1850s) coal deposits worked at the extreme northeastern
part of Schuylkill County. This was the approximate location of the Candlemas
Colliery. |
