Visiting Centralia is a real life experience of being in a ghost town. Last time I passed through, there were only several buildings left. It is really weird feeling driving along a curb lined street with sidewalks along each side, and cement walks leading to cement steps that only go to foundations. And of course the constant smoke coming up out of the ground. Alfred Hitchcock could not have created anything like it for one of his movies and he was he was the master of such.

Thanks for info on the Car-Mar engine and current state of the town. I have to be honest, I'm suprised that they still have a fire department. The entire situation is truely amazing - the coal fire that forced the town's exodus is expected to burn underground for another 250 years! Seeing the footage and the photo's of the town before the state condemned it and then after - it truely is Alfred Hitchcock-esque.
