- Over 60 mins of narrow gauge action!!! Every October, the Friends of the East Broad Top host a reunion to show off and celebrate their hard work and dedication to preserving the history of the East Broad Top Railroad. Special excursions were run with M-1 and M-3 motorcars, in addition to the 3 regular steam excursions headed by 2-8-2 #16. The highlights of both days were the morning hopper train runs with #16 on the point pulling vintage EBT hoppers and one of the new coaches. However, history was made on Oct. 5th as #16 backed the 5pm dinner train to Jordan Summit (the first time a revenue train had run on this part of the railroad since 1956!!!!). The train then proceeded from top of Jordan Summit to the end of the line at Colgate Grove. The Rockhill Trolley Museum was also in operation, running trolleys and streetcars up and down the Shade Gap branch of the EBT. Join us trackside at many different locations along the line with #16, M-1, and M-3 polishing the rails of the 'Old Eastie". As David P. Morgan once wrote, "The narrow gauge gets in the blood, and will not out". Looking forward to my next visit to the EBT! Please like, subscribe, or like us on Facebook. SCM Railfan Productions.

Awesome!! 🚂
History was truly made on the 5th when 16 ran that first train down to Jordan Summit. A new chapter has been opened for the EBT
I was on that historical trip riding in the open air car behind 16
that opening shot is absolutely breath taking
@@DestroyertheRailwarrior thank you!! I thought so as well. The fog made a fantastic backdrop.
Excellent camera work! The opening scene in the fog is absolutely legendary. Thank you.
fog is an underrated background aesthetic for rail-fanning (especially at night)
Very nice, like .
Really enjoyed seeing this steam locomotive and really like it's whistle. Beautiful scenery to go along too. The motorcars were cool too but that's a pretty sick sounding horn on that green one. The little red one was cute.
Despite the weather with the fog I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the trip to Jordan's Summit on the dinner train plus Friday and night sorry I didn't get to enjoy Sunday we had another obligation to go to and on Monday we rode the Strasburg Railroad so we did two Railroads in two different days
A beautiful video and a great job by the railroad crews! Shame about that bell though.
@MatecaCorp Thank you! And LOL! All I can say is, that it works and does it's job. Take the horns on M-1 and M-3 for example, they may not be the prettiest sounding, but they provide thr necessary warnings at grade crossings.
@@drpeerless1 I actually quite enjoy the motorcar horns haha
Out of all the narrow gauges lines I’ve visited so far, this is one I want to visit at some point in the future if I ever find the chance to visit Pennsylvania.
You will find it well worth your trip. Do you know where it is? Where are you coming from? (Need directions?)
@@ReggieArford I already know where it resides and I'm from the southwest.
Where is this at? It would be a wonderful place to visit
@@mclary9808 located in Rockhill Furnace, Pa off of Route 522.
In south-central Pennsylvania. If you're on the Turnpike, exit at Burnt Cabins and take Rt. 522 North to Orbisonia. At *the* stoplight, turn Left; cross the bridge, go to the railroad tracks, and you're there.😀
From Rt. 22, between Huntington and Lewistown lies Mt. Union. Take Rt. 522 South from Mt. Union to Orbisonia. In Orbisonia, at *the* stoplight turn Right, cross the bridge, go to the tracks, and you're there.
