Historic East Broad Top Railroad chugs toward financial collapse

ROCKHILL FURNACE, Pa. -- An agency chronicling this region's industrial lineage is hunting for money to turn the story of the persevering little East Broad Top Railroad into a history course.

Dave Boya, an apprentice fireman, stands on the coal tender of locomotive14.

It's a good idea, maybe.

Bump.

Thanks for the post Willie. I remember taking my son for a ride on the EBT more than twenty years ago. It was a real trip back in time. Several years ago, while showing my wife around the back roads of Central PA, we passed by and stopped to watch the steam engine warming up.

I hope something can be done to preserve the EBT Railroad, but it sounds like it's about over. Too bad.
