Present day Huber Breaker view from the South looking towards Wilkes-Barre

A Huber Breaker sunset photo, taken April 2002, by Steve Hay during his visit to the breaker from Georgetown, Texas.

A track level view of the roller conveyors used to load 60 ton gondolas with coarse coal at the railroad car loading facilities on the West side of the breaker.

Coarse coal section of the breaker, above the rail section, where the Menzies Cone agitator drive gear is visible beneath the sky lit section of roof in the loading-shipping area.

A view of the second floor furnace level of the powerhouse. Note the Coxe traveling grate stokers (two of four) being fed by delivery chutes from a huge hopper seen above in the upper left corner of photo. The powerhouse used 70,000 tons of buckwheat coal annually that can be seen in photo where it has seeped out of the rusted chutes.
