It's all done

@@justingilmore5813 we will be riding October 16th. Hopefully we can ride to Colgate Grove, turn around, and then back

Have a good time :)

The East Broad Top Railroad Foundation does not like the idea of the general public climbing on any rolling stock or equipment. The East Broad Top hopes u respect there rules and violations for your safety and enjoyment.

The foundations end goal is to get the line built from Robertsdale to Mount Union I believe and then also rebuild the Coles branch to joller

@@justingilmore5813 did you guys get 100k grant couple of days ago

@@southerncanadiancoins757 yes the railroad received a 100k grant for the rebuilding of Colgate Grove and for a platform to be built there.

Yes it is, I've explored quite a bit of the trackage up at the EBT and it is all still there

I believe it's 65 but I could be wrong, I never asked but I can look into it for you.

At the moment no, but this year I am going to record other parts of the east broad top

@@justingilmore5813 ok, do you know if anything is going on in mount union at all ?

Actually, yes! The retaining wall for the road next to the tracks has been repaired and looks the way it did back in the 40s and 50s.

Yes it's been a hobby of mine for a few years now, and I don't mean to brag but I think I'm pretty good at it.

I'll post a video of my already retired ones soon

I'm in the process of selling my collection. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

PRR has been a big one in our collection, looking for a Reading one and Southern lantern. No real preference we clean them up pretty nice, we even sometimes bring them to events light them and use them.

That thing rides good, you folks did a good job on your track.

No I didn't, I'm gonna start recording with my gopros again, I keep screwing up with my phone. Sorry

Any updates on the steam engines?

I haven't heard anything so no. But if I hear anything I will be sure to say.

Okay, thank you.

Her?

Also I didn't review the footage, I think I'm done recording videos with my phone. I'll stick to my gopros. I know you are looking for the videos I promised to make for you, but in the three month period I hadn't post anything I had actually broke my hand and was unable to do these things, it was too much a risk to hurt my hand any more than it was, I also had Covid for 2 weeks. I know my footage hasn't been good recently, but I also am experimenting, I'm sorry for the inconvenience with the quality of video but it is being solved. Like I have said in my videos please do not judge, I will get to everyone's suggestions at some point but it takes time, and with all the inconveniences we have had during 2020 and now 2021 it has been tough on both the railroad, and my family so i ask that you please be patient and enjoy other peoples content for the time being, thank you and have a nice day.

Also if you have nothing nice to say then go away, quite frankly I don't care whether you stay or not, if you do not have the basic knowledge to realize that the world is going through a crisis at the moment, then maybe do it yourself. Again I prefer not to hear this talk, and if you want to know how I'm scheduling this stuff, I don't and with everything going on right now you can't schedule anything accurately.

@@justingilmore5813 The World Pandemic never cam into play with me, but okay you wish.

I can try...but I can't keep any promises here, events have been keeping me from my schedule.

@@justingilmore5813 thanks. I understand especially with the snow. Would be neat to have before and after restoration

I'll see what I can do, its gonna be a while till they do anything major. So I should be able to get it.

You gonna give us one...;) lol

@@justingilmore5813 can't you build one?

Don't have the machinery or resources to build one...I would have built a million by now if I could.

Yes it is! And she is a beauty!

I'm not quite sure about structures but I do know that the foundation/railroad wants to have at least, notice how I say at least 40-45 operational hopper cars.

Also could you go into detail about which structures...I have somewhat of an idea on some of them but could you be more specific, just helps so i can answer questions a bit more accurately.

I like your idea, it's gonna have to wait until it warms up a little bit but sure.

@@justingilmore5813 Cool, thanks for taking this into consideration!

Sure I can. There is some really interesting stuff going on in mount union but it doesn't evolve around the railroad. You'll see it when I post it so stay tuned :)

Haha...just past stuff not to dwell upon.

I'd be willing to, I don't think I'd get very far though...😂at least not by myself.

Yeah still got tweaking to do, gopros are hard to set up. Mostly there settings there's HUNDREDS!

Orbisonia PA east broad top railroad look it up on Google Earth.

Thank you

@@justingilmore5813 yw :)

Hey, I'm working on it! Lol

Orbisonia PA, east broad top railroad. Look it up on Google Earth or just on Google.

Quite ambitious, Henry Posner has proposed a five year plan for the east broad top to restore the line all the way to the town of Joller, which the branch line that heads to Joller is just before the Wrays hill tunnel. The railroad would restore the sideline hill tunnel and Mules curve, a long with the Coles water tank.

@@justingilmore5813 ♥︎ What has been in other communities, is a put made for funds sharing between the counties seeing direct benefit, the state that has in interest in overall wellbeing of the citizenry, and of course, the friends group itself - which can never have too many members. Set the plan as the goal, advertised widely; break the plan into bite-sized chunks, and make it happen !

Thumbs up to that! Well said.

Actually, after the video I asked what it was and the railroad believes it was once a welding cart that could move itself, there are actually rounded brackets on the back that held the tank for it. They say it was custom built on the railroad out of spare parts they had for use on the main and around the shops for cutting metal. That way they did not have to wheel out a welding tank, instead they could drive/move that little thing to wherever they needed it with ease. Actually I've really thought about asking the railroad if they will restore it to operational order for use on the railroad. Because right now the railroad actually is hauling around a huge welding kit and tank everywhere, where as if they were to restore that it would make for easy use and full convenience. Also who doesn't like to see the East broad top way of doing things. I mean people love it after all! Anyway when I saw the thing I was thinking the same, that it was a portable pump. Good guess though! Stay tuned for more videos, and spread the word of my channel, a lot of people have been looking for a channel like mine that records progress and projects of the railroad! I've started asking this because of my build in subscriber rates, maybe I now have enough I can get word spread and help bring awareness of the railroad, they really need it you know. The East Broad Top is located in a place most people never see so I would try spreading the word!

Well thank you for subscribing! I always appreciate the support. I'm also excited to get new videos made in the spring of this year. Things will be a lot different once I get everything situated with both the channel and my recording equipment. Stay tuned for more, and help spread my name, my true goal is to get more support for the railroad and also teach people of the present work that's going on. Stay tuned for more videos to come!

Thank you

Well I hope you come around someday. Thank you.

@@justingilmore5813 thanks, Nathan, for getting back to me on my three comments... once a month I spend a week in PHL.... I would be willing to make the drive to Orbisonia to help with track work, but I would need to stay overnight somewhere close by.... any recommendations? also, when the snow clears, is there a weekend track work schedule? I have construction experience and would not mind helping out.

They're working on track now, most of the snow is gone, also if your looking to stay somewhere you can first try the East Broad Top Bed and Breakfast in Orbisonia, or you could go to the hotel they have in Huntingdon, that's where I mostly go. And across the river from it is the pennsy's old station in huntingdon, good place to watch trains while eating, great places to eat around the area too, all places are good.

@@justingilmore5813 sounds good, Nathan.... is the track work going on weekends only? where and when should I show up? is there a person I should contact first? thanks, Bill

They are running trains to mcmullins summit right before the walking bridge but I believe track crew has expanded that by a quarter mile, also the state is requesting they extend the line 1 mile to the town of Shirleysburg. So hopefully the railroad will build a small passenger shelter or something and that they restore the passing track as well.
