The town has become famous because underneath burns an ongoing coal fire. Whats left ? Take a look. Keep in mind there are countless other videos of this spot online . Take a look at others efforts much more detailed than mine and more serious than mine.

welcome everyone to the road to
0:35
Centralia Pennsylvania check this out
0:38
this used to be a major thoroughfare
0:40
leading into a town where a fire erupted
0:44
directly underneath the patrons and the
0:47
homes of the town in
0:54
1962 I'm going to show you what's left
0:54
join me shall
1:21
shortly after the fire broke out down
1:21
below the surface of the Earth the
1:23
government stepped in and took over what
1:25
they call imminent domain forcing the
1:28
residents to move out most of them did
1:31
except for the mayor who actually still
1:34
resides here as well as a small handful
1:37
of other
2:01
poisonous IM mediate has spawned up some
2:01
sort of weird foliage right here in the
2:04
middle but look gold we found gold we
2:09
found
2:11
gold
2:18
foliage the birds are
2:18
chirping the sun is out The Greenery of
2:22
the air and the graffiti of the
2:27
road I really have no idea why I said
2:30
The Greenery of the air The Greenery of
2:32
the trees that's protruding into the
2:36
air I think I'm getting Delirious
2:39
clearly Sinbad was
2:51
here not sure if you can see them or not
2:51
but check it out there's two couches
2:53
back in the woods off in the woods two
2:56
couches very very unusual
3:15
it's pretty wild to think that years ago
3:15
people drove up and down this hill going
3:17
into work going into town going in to
3:20
survive to live to shop to
3:22
worship now there's
3:46
you can see how dilapidated and
3:46
graffitied up the road leading into town
3:49
is this is probably the biggest hole and
3:53
gash right here on this Main Highway
3:55
leading into
4:01
town
4:01
pretty crazy that right down below a
4:04
mine fire is burning and if it was cool
4:07
out if it was the coldness and crispness
4:09
of the winter air you would be able to
4:11
see Steam protruding up from right down
4:22
here steam protruding up for wait a
4:22
second something feels really weird
4:24
while I'm sitting here something feels
4:26
really weird while I'm sitting here do
4:29
Do not sit here do not sit here someone
4:32
tried to warn
4:46
me check out that little hump in the
4:46
middle of the road imagine careening
4:47
your car down out of CIA getting off
4:50
work commuting home and then bam hitting
4:55
that it's almost like a
4:56
ramp that's some pretty dangerous stuff
4:59
right there do you think that was like
5:00
that when the town originally was here
5:03
or did this little festering bubble
5:07
momento pop up after the fact what do
5:10
you think why did that hump become
5:15
created that is
5:37
another interesting fact about Centralia
5:37
it has no postal code the government
5:40
took that away from them as well you can
5:43
see the old guard rail going along here
5:45
protecting people that are driving down
5:47
this road of course you can tell now no
5:49
one drives down this
6:01
road oh man I don't know how I missed
6:01
that it Blended right
6:03
in it's
6:06
camouflage Blended right
6:08
in you might be asking yourself what
6:12
happens when you actually get to the
6:13
town of Centralia well the answer is
6:18
really a whole lot of nothing there is
6:21
some debris left and some remnants of
6:23
where the fire once started and a
6:26
cemetery off in the distance but most of
6:29
the scraps of concrete and debris are
6:33
what's left from when the fire once
6:35
started here and crept down below the
6:37
surface of the Earth but in reality
6:41
Centralia really is not that exciting
6:44
other than the road that led in the
6:47
highway that leads into Centralia really
6:49
is about the only thing worthwhile
6:52
coming out here to see unless you come
6:54
in the winter time when you can see the
6:57
steam rising up from the ground
7:00
this is the area here this is actually
7:02
pretty cool though shoes that are burned
7:05
so that's something but I don't know how
7:08
often shoes are actually left out here
7:11
that's probably the coolest thing I
7:13
found while I wandered around this area
7:16
that I guess used to be at one point a
7:18
scrapyard or a junkyard that caught fire
7:22
that ended up spreading down below you
7:24
can see an Overlook of the town there
7:26
abandoned roads that no longer have have
7:29
houses or churches or movie theaters
7:32
like they once did when Centralia was a
7:35
real legit working town now there's just
7:39
empty roads lots of debris this star
7:44
looking down the hill you can see these
7:46
pipes that they've actually put up to
7:48
help release the steam this one actually
7:50
says do not back over with your tour bus
7:54
CU if you bring a chore bus definitely
7:56
do not smash into that
8:03
looking around a little bit more here's
8:03
another pile of rubble this is pretty
8:05
much the extent of what's left here in
8:09
Centralia don't come expecting big
8:11
houses a lot of Abandonment there is
8:13
this cool rock wall which is actually
8:15
pretty neat this fence and a tree and
8:19
lots and lots and lots of roads I cannot
8:23
stress this enough basically it's just
8:24
roads with lots of empty lots warehouses
8:29
and buildings and businesses used to be
8:32
and this painted tree stump you can see
8:34
the foundation there of where a home or
8:37
a business used to be now we're getting
8:40
basically to the end of the video the
8:42
nitty-gritty other roads these are non
8:46
Highway roads like the graffiti Road you
8:48
saw at the beginning of the video these
8:51
are all the roads stretching through
8:55
Centralia one road after another road
8:58
after another road after another road
9:01
dozens and dozens and dozens of roads
9:04
all out basically in the middle of this
9:07
abandoned town but don't be fooled the
9:10
most exciting thing you will see out
9:13
here at Centralia other than this tree
9:16
that has a sign on it that says wood the
9:19
only really exciting thing you're going
9:21
to see if you make the trip out to
9:24
Centralia which I really highly would
9:26
recommend not doing unless you're in the
9:29
area
9:30
cuz everything exciting has probably
9:31
been shown in this video or other
9:34
YouTubers videos lots of people have
9:36
been out here it's become kind of a
9:38
tourist attraction the best thing you're
9:41
going to see is
9:44
this a highway full of
9:47
graffiti question everything some people
9:50
write graffiti it makes no sense and
9:53
this makes no sense but thanks for
9:55
watching everybody I appreciate it see
9:59
you
10:34
that sun is really beating down on me
10:34
and making me kind of loopy really makes
10:36
me think judging by all these trees and
10:39
Greenery on either side of me if I was a
10:42
plant would I want to be on the side of
10:44
a road an abandoned town in Pennsylvania
10:48
would there be another state I'd want to
10:50
live in would I want to be in a place
10:52
that was flourishing with nourishment of
10:55
the people that resided in the town or I
10:57
would why I want or would I want to be
10:59
in a place that has holes in the ground
11:02
and a fire burning down below me if I'm
11:04
a green subject matter that spawns up
11:08
from the earth that needs nutrients the
11:11
last thing I need is a fire burning down
11:13
below me I need water I need water not
11:16
the Sun not the fire I need H2O
11:21
Aqua I'm just
