Not a Horse

Body count
Plus one horse or a mule! and one camera.
I'm gonna need a breathing mask just looking.

Lackawanna's biggest in 1900
The Woodward Breaker was served by Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. Opened in 1888, it was the largest mine on the DL&W at the time. In 1921 it was the third largest mine in Pennsylvania and closed in the 1960's. It also was one of the most gaseous mines in the state.
Portal?

And I spotted the other Breaker Boy there's two
On the Railroad service. I would imagine the Reading RR. To connect with the PRR.
What RR served this breaker?
I see the numbers on the end of the hoppers, but no railroad lettering.
