The Mandata Quarry works limestone as a surface operation with 26 people under Meckley’s Limestone Products, and that is the largest workforce the Mine Safety and Health Administration records within 15 miles of this borough. Everything else nearby of any size is anthracite.

The coal operations run much smaller. The Trevorton Strip about 9 miles north-east works with 18 people, and after that it drops away: the Trevorton Breaker with 2, the Calvin V Lenig operation about 5 miles north-east with 2, and a washery about 8 miles east with 2.

That difference in size comes with a difference in rhythm. A twenty-six person quarry runs a steady loadout; a two-person washery runs when there is material and stops when there is not, and the haulage each one buys reflects that.

So the trucks here divide into steady work and intermittent work. The Montandon Sand Plant about 6 miles north works sand and gravel with 8 people, which is a third pattern again, and the Elizabethville Quarry about 6 miles south works crushed stone with 11.

Those small operations are the majority. The Mine Safety and Health Administration records nine coal operations within 11 miles of this borough and most of them work with four people or fewer — a slope about 11 miles east worked by Bear Gap Coal Company with 4, the Zerbe 10 mine east of that with 2, and a pit about 11 miles east with 1.

So one truck is frequently the entire haulage capacity of an operation. That is the scale this page is really about, and it is why a single sale matters here in a way it would not in a quarry district.

Tri-axle dumps and aggregate haulers off the stone, coal trucks and breaker haulage, flatbeds, day cabs and road tractors, rollbacks, service bodies and the pickups every small operation keeps beside its big truck.

Between the Mandata Quarry here and the Trevorton Strip about 9 miles north-east the two sides turn over on separate cycles, and a body set up for limestone is not what a breaker is looking for.

• We buy both, and the two leave different residues.
• Can you collect from a quarry or a breaker?

A strip works out or a breaker stops, and the one truck that served it has no obvious second home.

So it stands between the Montandon Sand Plant about 6 miles north and the Elizabethville Quarry about 6 miles south, on ground that has no further use for it.
