Centralia, PA

This is the abandoned route 61 that runs parallel to the present route 61. The road is breaking apart and has become a destination for urban explorers in PA. Centralia is a borough and ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005, 9 in 2007, and 7 in 2010 as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia is now the least-populous municipality in Pennsylvania, with four fewer residents than the borough of S.N.P.J. Shot with a 20mm Panasonic Lumix lens.
