The address is given as Route 209 Middleport, but all I can
see at the mapping location is a church. Has anyone been there ?
I couldn't find the breaker in Tuscarora either. Any help would
be appreciated.

The breaker is in Brookton. Take 209 S 6 mi to Brookton turn right go 500ft to stop sign turn left on Valley St go about 3/4 of a mile you'll see the sign for Tuscarora Coal on the right turn right that takes you to the scale. 570-668-1633

It is on old 209 for you go to Middleport turn left off of 209 go back to the last Street turn right you are on old 209
follow it out about a 1/2 to 3/4 miles it will be on your left . Just wordering why you are coming all the way out here
for coal you are closer to some of the best coal you can get .Tuscarora coal is not one of them I live 3 miles from them .
You would be better off going to one of these breakers below for you coal .Trust me I have burned all of the coal in a 55 mile area . These are the Places that have the better coal .

Coal Berner,

I have this winter covered with Superior rice and pea. I'm
always looking for breakers a little closer. Tuscarora would
be only 47 miles for me. Superior is about 75. I could also
get coal in Ravine.
When I ride the scooter around, I like to find all of the breakers I can.
Never know what's going to happen in the future.

Tom

Yea I got you now you are South East of Pottsville PA not South West You are down by Pottstown PA / Reading area
well if you goto Ravine PA Blaschak little breaker there most of the breaker are very close to there Ravine is off of I-81 Exit 104 The next breakers would off of Exit 107 you can get to 4 from there Summit Anthracite Superior coal Pine creek coal Kimmel coal co. after the 107 the next breaker's would be off of Exit 112 Sherman coal co. & Hegins coal co. /
Hillside breaker & Direnzo coal co. After that Exit the next one be Exit 116 Schuylkill Processing coal co. and you can get

to UAE Harmony mine aswell as Calvin V. Lenigs . Or you can go up to Exit 124 and goto UAE Harmony mine that way aswell as Blaschak main breaker and Reading Anthracite Breaker . Now if you are coming up on I-78 to Route 309 then you will hit South Tamaqua coal pockets coal co. aswell as Premium Fine coal co. behind S.T. Coal Pockets. Then go up to route 209 make a right and go up to LC & N coal co. or make a left on to 209 and go to Tuscarora coal co. or go straight up 309 to Gale Mining co.coal breaker a little tuff to find . There is also Ginther coal co. in Cumbola Pa on 209 about 3.5 Past Tuscarora coal co. If I were you I stick with the ones on my list off of I-81 much better coal .
