Talk:Centralia, Pennsylvania

message: I read the last picture there is the railroad ave, but the pic is not made for train, no track, just normal road for car. I searched the meaning of railroad, the meaning is the track for train.Even search the railroad ave,it doesn't show the meaning of normal road for car. So i guess if there is railroad for train out of the look in the picture.
I read the population by 2020 is 5,but when I search in google,the brief shows the population is 4 by 2021,so there is 1 person left or pass by. And I read in WIKI chinese verson,it mention there are 5 family by 2010,not 5 person,5 family maybe more than 5 person. I imagine the 4-5 person living in that place, they have to drive outside to buy food,buy everything needed. The view looks good, silence,less pressure as its like in corner,no other people disturb.
I see the road with lots graffiti. This remind me that in 2022,I usually park my car in front of a warehouse in LA in weekend, or sometimes in the evening of business day--but leave in evening also.I realize in the back of the warehouse wall, there are plenty graffiti. Sometimes the graffiti change. Some people come and use the spray painting to make such graffiti, they may make new one to cover the previous made one. I thought they may be the graffiti lover. When i read the picture of graffiti in the road, guess might be some graffiti lover find there and paint that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.73.238.5 (talk) 07:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Silent Hill 

message: Glad to have been passing through Centralia today with my camera. The snow made it easy to tell where the ground is hottest. Also encountered a fellow from the PA DEP that was doing biannual measurements on bore holes  for measuring temperature under the streets. The photo of the hole with the steam escaping is after he removed the rag stuffed inside to plug it up. The rag was tattered from the effects of sulfuric acid. A good whiff of it is nothing but brimstone. The worker noted that there are very few residents who call Centralia home anymore, perhaps only 4-6 individuals. My guess is the rest who were counted on the most recent census have skipped town.

thread_title: Huh.

message: The main article lists the current population of Centralia as 9. However, when I visited the town on June 2, 2007 and spoke to one of the very few residents, he claimed it was actually 15. 
Though somewhat elderly, the man seemed lucid enough and he IS a permanent resident, so I'm wondering if the population count on the main page is incorrect.
Anyone know for sure?
I just visited the town this weekend, and there were - I believe - 5 houses that are clearly lived in. I counted a total of 12 cars at these 5 houses, so it stands to reason the population is more than 9.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.42.31 (talk) 22:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Website 

message: First off the Today section says 
 "Only one home remains standing in Centralia although most of the abandoned buildings have been demolished by humans or nature."
 
This is wrong not only to anyone that has ever visited Centralia, who can tell you that there are at least 5 buildngs standing, but also according to the  Centralia After The Fire image copyrighted 2008 that is posted on this page which accurately shows there are 7 homes standing within the borough limits as well as the municipal building which remains on N. Locust St with a Fire Truck and Ambulance still visible though the windows.  Even the sentence contradicts itself by saying both "only one home remains standing" and "most of the abandoned buildings", with the term "most" implying there is more then one building standing, abandoned or not.  Actually the map of Centralia After The Fire is accurate per my recent visit to the town in July 2009.  The only abandoned house that is decrepit and certifiably abandoned is the one on the corner of E. Centre and Manahoy St., which is actually outside borough limits and is therefore disqualified. Only very recently in June 2009 was another home vacated, but it does not meet the definition of "abandoned" as the resident was forced out of his home by the State of Pennsylvania and the house is still in good condition and likely locked and seemingly not abandoned to anyone that doesn't follow news on the town.  See my links in the paragraph below for verification of this.  In addition, there are two homes, one comprised of two row houses on E. Centre St. and one that is a separate house on E. Park St. that are still occupied located just outside the borough limits to the east.  Additional buildings also remain north of the borough towards Aristes, including the  Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church that overlooks the town.
:The maps were made by me as a research project for GIS class at Kings College. Locations of existing homes and smaller structures, such as shacks, were visually verified during a trip in December 2008 (Should probably edit the image description to reflect that) Vasiliymeshko (talk) 16:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

message: DurinsBane87: If you find an assertion that you think needs to be cited, do the editor the courtesy of flagging it as unsourced instead of just reverting the edit right off the bat. If you want a source for my edit that the Jucifer song "Centralia" is about the fire and its effects, here are the lyrics (I've got the lyric sheet from the CD right in front of me): http://www.lyricsmania.com/centralia_lyrics_jucifer.html Methychroma (talk) 05:19, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: One issue is sourcing, a more important issue is notability. This page gets too easily filled up with every song, TV episode, movie or whatever that happens to mention Centralia. I'm certainly not going to flag every piece that gets added, if I did, nothing would get done. DurinsBane87 (talk) 13:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a point; maybe we can confine ourselves to songs, TV episodes, movies or whatever by notable authors that are specifically about the town and/or the fire that ended up destroying it,  and don't just mention Centralia in passing and/or come from some unsigned garage band or whatever? TV or print reports that don't break any new ground could be left out. If we were to adopt this, I'm not sure the Woody Guthrie song would qualify; it looks like your basic mine-disaster ballad. And I'd never heard of the HBO show that was in the edit you reverted; unless somebody can show it was all about Centralia and/or the mine fire, I don't mind leaving it out. But while Jucifer is not exactly as well-known as Madonna, it's not toiling in local-band obscurity, either, and this tune does seem to be about the mine fire and its impact on the town and nothing else. Methychroma (talk) 18:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure you would still need to find a citation for it, and I'm not sure if a CD insert would be usable. I could be wrong, I haven't worked much with any music related articles. I just get frustrated that every time I come on this article, there's 20 new bands with songs mentioning Centralia, most of which seem to just be random high school bands trying to get a mention on Wikipedia. DurinsBane87 (talk) 21:21, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, okay. What I was trying to say was, the link I posted above seemed to be an accurate representation of the lyrics to the Jucifer song when I checked it against the lyric sheet from the CD insert. Methychroma (talk) 16:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The section about John Coddington's gas station is completely oversimplified and inaccurate. As far as I can find from my research, the highest temperature his gas tank ever reached was 64 degrees, not 172. Also, the problem started with a strange odor in the cellar of the gas station building. The Office of Surface Mining had already been brought in and found very high ground temperatures around his building before anyone discovered the temperature of the gas tank. The high temperature in the gas tank was discovered by DER inspector Leon Brass, not Coddington himself. Read pages 107-111 of David Dekok's book Unseen Danger for a more accurate story of what happened at Coddington's gas station.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ Craig (talk • contribs) 03:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Hey folks, muy user name is Coal town guy and from that you may have guessed, I love coal towns. Which I do. As to Centralia, of the 150+ coal towns I have been to, in KY, PA, and WV, I would have to say, in a polite yet concerned manner, that you are stone cold *&^% nuts to go to this place at all. It is beyond dangerous. You could literally, walk, down the road (AND ASSUMING) and just drop dead from gas. OR you could fall in the sudden sink hole, regardless of being in a car or not, and BONUS, you would be missing for days before anyone actually noticed, assuming you had a gas detector, a respirator and of course a cell phone that works in a sink hole. The deal is, I have dome some rather strange things, in my odyssey of coal towns, but dropping dead because I chose to nut it out and be cool aint on my to do list. I would with all charity, compassion and good will state, NOT to go there. BUT as to this article, do you really want to "document" the misery of others in this fashion? At least when I get chased by a meth freak, narcotics are doing the job, in this case, you are choosing to put yourself in harms way as an option. NOT a cool idea, IMHO......I suggest we do not document Centralia today in a manner that makes peopkle think, WOW, I gotta go there.....its not encyclopedic, and its rather demeaning to othersCoal town guy (talk) 19:58, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you that it's a dangerous place.  However, I don't see anything in the article that suggests anyone should go there or anything demeaning to the victims.  Of course I could be missing something but a quick review of the article shows notes on all buildings being condemned, the warning sign, the fact that it is a ghost town, etc.  If anything is in the article that suggests anyone go there other than those professionally trained it should be removed.

The two are intricately linked and neither article is long enough to warrant two separate article about the same subject, especially when you remove the redundant information found in both articles.

thread_title:  RfC: Should the town and the fire articles be merged? 

message: I got the impression from reading this article (and the photos) that access to Centralia had been blocked or restricted.  This bit in particular:
"The current route was formerly a detour around the damaged portion during the repairs and became a permanent route in 1993; mounds of dirt were placed at both ends of the former route, effectively blocking the road. Pedestrian traffic is still possible due to a small opening about two feet wide at the north side of the road. "
However this kinda ignores the fact that, in addition to pedestrian traffic via the gap, the new route 61 still leads into the town freely, as does route 42, and route 2004.  Google map's satellite photo shows significant traffic passing through "downtown" Centralia.  I haven't verified this in person so I don't want to make the change, but I certainly got the wrong impression from the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1:9600:771:659B:66C:DDD5:9C5D (talk) 04:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

message: It seems this town was the basis of the town in Nothing_but_Trouble_(1991_film). It should probably be mentioned there.

message: I feel like this page deserves a section for notable residents from the town. One example of a notable resident from Centralia would be:
- Patrick Devine (1845-1908), coal miner, great grandfather of actor Brendan Fraser (as revealed on PBS' Finding Your Roots S10 E2). Buried in St. Ignatius Cemetery in Centralia.  Brandondsantos (talk) 19:02, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
