Not a Horse
With those ears, I do believe that it's a mule.
Body count
Plus one horse or a mule! and one camera.
I'm gonna need a breathing mask just looking.
I believe a total of six men in this pic. Seven if someone is sleeping by the fire.
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?
I wonder what that portal / tunnel at the base of the hill could have been.
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.
