Darin, remember when we "rode" by in 2008, the 1985 IH S/Kovatch engine and an ambulance were still there. The municipal building/fire station was actually built with Fed money in 1977, will it take Fed dollars to knock it down? In the last several years, a couple of new books have been published, since the 50th anniversary of the mine fire starting was last year.

Doc, Daren, and Dave,

 

I rode by last year (after the 6 County in Mt. Carmel), the ambulance was gone, the International was there, and the building looked like it was "abandoned."  I would love to photograph it, but I think you would have better luck at some military bases and nuclear power plants than getting one older International/KME in Centralia...
