Coaldale, Nevada

the abandoned Ghosttown of Coaldale

Coaldale is a ghost town in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Coaldale, located at the Bishop California cut off,had a store, cafe, motel, and service station as late as 1993, but is now abandoned.

The service station was closed down due to EPA testing in 1993 that found that its underground fuel tanks were leaking. Soon, the restaurant and motel closed, since the service station was the primary attraction for travelers. At some point before 2006, a fire destroyed the restaurant.(Former employee note-coaldale junction was still pumping fuel as late as sept.1995 when i left.The population had then grown to 10. The fuel tanks did indeed leak,rendering the well unusable,and the motel was company housing only.The settlement had only one phone line in(operator dialed "coaldale2")
