52 Minutes
This
fascinating video is about the oldest narrow gauge railroad in the
United States, the East Broad Top Railroad.
The
E B T operates a small fleet of Baldwin-built Mikados hauling
passengers through the fertile Aughwick Valley, between Rockhill
Furnace and Colgate Grove, Pennsylvania. You’ll learn a little
history of the line, and see the “truck swap” from standard to
narrow gauge trucks at Mount Union.
You'll
see the tourist operation from start to finish, with plenty of
line-side runbys and action-packed pacing. And for you trolley
fans, we’ll take you to the Shade Gap Railway, where you’ll see
standard gauge trolleys and interurbans sharing dual gauge track with
the East Broad Top trains.
This
fascinating video is one you are sure to enjoy.
Digitally
re-mastered, this video brings you 52 minutes of unique and historic
steam action with the little engines that could!
