I'm so happy EBT is up and running again. That place is some of the happiest childhood memories I have with my dad, and was thrilled to take him back this fall to tour the grounds.

I can not wait for this railroad to come back with steam power! What a great historic place! Nowhere can you travel through time as authentically as at the EBT.

This is quite a look back to when steam was in operation on the East Broad Top Railroad I look forward to the return of steam this year

The grading on this in particular is stunning, and the angles are good as always.

Thank you! It helps to start with peak fall colors. The fall of 2010 was a colorful one in Pennsylvania. :)

The black and white scene at about 6:00 looks like it was shot by the famous N&W railroad photographer, O. Winston Link, back in the late 1950s. Thanks for sharing!

Using smoke bombs for the smoke was surprisingly effective!

Reminds me of the Union Pacific filming a pair of 2-8-0s using compressed air and burning tires in the smokebox. It was for their film on the 4000 big boys.

This is a great video to look back at the things E.B.T had before they closed for the 2nd time. It's very exciting to see that No.16 is back under steam. Excellent video!

Every frame of this looks like a painting.

Great video! I can’t wait for the EBT to return later this year.

always love #15's 3 chime. it feels like you are driving the no.15 in the early days of the EBT. thanks joe fusco

Great footage of my favorite railroad! I haven't been to the EBT since the Fall Spectacular in 2006. The photo freight runbys are always fun. I particularly enjoyed the scenes of the train headed southbound at speed through Orbisonia. It almost felt like #15 was going to keep on going south all the way to Robertsdale. I sure hope someday I can see the whole line reopened but right now I'm pulling for the new operators to get us back to basic operations. This was nice to see this morning thank you for sharing it.

I’m a bit disappointed that the rest of the team weren’t running, but I am glad 15’s managing well.

This footage is from 2010, when only #15 was operational - hence the creative use of smoke bombs in the other locomotives. As you may know, currently none of the EBT steam locomotives are operational. They are working on #14 and #16 with hopes one of them will be completed by the end of the year. Time will tell!

Wow. Beautifully done. Seeing #15 facing that direction at the coal dock is a first. Looking forward to seeing that more as the return to life progresses. Thanks for posting this.

Congratulations. You folks have performed a miracle.

I just love steam locomotives 🚂 ❤️

This is absolutely breathtaking. WELL done 👏👏👏

the whistle sounds eerily similar to another famous east coast narrow gauge locomotive

Magic.

Can you believe it's now been 1 year since that non profit group bought the EBT from the kovalchick family. Man I'm sure hyped for their plans in the future with the railroad, hope they can get 14 or 16 running by later this year since i don't think neither mikado will be ready by the time they reopen in may or June of this year but we'll see what happens

The Kovalchicks would have never reopened more of the railroad but this group will. They actually have plans to head west toward the tunnels. But, their first goal is reopening the five miles to Colgate wye.

They are lit and then dropped into the smokestack just before each runby. They produce smoke for several minutes.

It is a preserved narrow gauge railroad in western Pennsylvania that is getting a new lease on life. It’s like a time capsule - 6 authentic 3-foot gauge locomotives that have never left the property since the day they were delivered, original shops, buildings, trackage, and more. Definitely worth checking them out: www.eastbroadtop.com
