Meet the volunteer team that's restoring and reopening the Brooks Mine at Nay Aug Park
Chris Murley and Dan Shurtleff have a love of coal mining and its history. They understand how mining helped shape the region and wanted to find a way to share their knowledge and love of anthracite mining with a new generation who may know little or nothing about the industry that helped build Northeast Pennsylvania.
The mining enthusiasts took one look at the long-forgotten Brooks Mine at Nay Aug Park and knew they found something special. Knowing the mine was perfect to rehabilitate and share with the public they now needed permission and funding.
They approached the City of Scranton for permission to enter and inspect the mine, and once inside they realized restoring the long-closed mine was possible. Their non-profit organization Underground Miners swung into action and began raising the funds needed to complete the work.
You can donate, volunteer or explore the history of anthracite mining at Underground Miners or email the team at [email protected]

PennDOT takes us inside the 10-year I-81 widening project
Rich Roman, District Executive for PennDOT’s Engineering District 4, joins the News Engine Podcast to discuss the 7.5-mile Interstate 81 widening project between Scranton and Avoca.
The enormous project will cost $500 million and take 10 years but it will be 5 years before crews start digging. Between now and then there's a lot of planning.
Rich takes us inside the expansion and discusses how traffic will be affected and what drivers and commuters can expect. He also discusses a similar 7-mile widening project for Luzerne County that's expected to start in two years.
We also couldn't resist the opportunity to give Rich some grief about the traffic circle near the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and he breaks down for us why roundabouts can work.
If you travel on Interstate 81 in Lackawanna or Luzerne Counties this episode is a must-listen.
