Looking in opposite direction from previous photo (north) at barrier erected where original road can still be seen and entered on foot.
Same location as previous photo except looking at barrier from opposite side of the road (west side)
Closer look at barrier at south end of blocked original road
Route 61 northbound now curves to the right and detours around the original, damaged road for a mile or two until arriving at the outskirts of Centralia.
This is the north barrier for the original Route 61. You are loking south, away from Centralia.
Now standing behind the north barrier, looking north (toward Centralia). This is the original Route 61.
Standing close to the same place as prior photo but looking in opposite direction (south) at original Route 61. I did not have time to walk down to the part of the road damaged by the coal fire.
At the south end of town looking at burned up ground with smoke from underground fire rising to surface. This was the town landfill in the 60s and prior.
On a hill at south end of town looking northeast at center of town. Thirty years ago this view was filled with houses and other buildings. Three row houses remain at right - the red brick columns provide support once supplied by adjoining row homes.
