Part two of our history weekend takes Daniel and I to the East Broad Top Railroad. This is a narrow gauge railroad built between Orbisonia, PA and Mount Union, PA to move coal. The railroad has been well preserved since the early 1960's between a local benefactor and a preservation foundation. More information on the railroad can be found at www.ebtrr.com. I would strongly recommend a visit to this great treasure.
Some one is getting the holiday coal out of the picture early this year as well as my budding assistant photographer.
Our transportation for the day. The railroad has several steam engines in storage but at this time, #15 is the only one operational.
Our view from the caboose.

In addition to the hour long train ride, they have work car rides as well as the PA Trolley Museum. A view of the yard from the work car.
Again, this a great day trip that may not be along for much longer. It was a very inexpensive day and a great place to visit. Go before it is too late.
