These Photo's are of the East Broad Top and were taken by Joel
Salomon, He is a Volunteer at the Rockhill Trolley Museum located
across the Street from the EBT.
In case you are not aware, the EBT is 3 foot narrow gauge and the
Rockhill Trolley museum is Standard Gauge so there is actually a bit
of dual gauge track which both of the operations operate over.
This photo shows East
Broad Top # 14 passing trolley 163 from York PA. This trolley has
had a varied life, Built in 1924, retired in 1939, used as a summer
home for 33 years striped of all mechanical parts and interior
parts. It was then restored back to a serviceable trolley by the
volunteers at the museum. |
|
 |
Locomotive 14 at the
service pit in Rockhill. The shops at the EBT are orignal and as
historic as the trains themselves |

Trolley line main line which is part of the EBT wye track for
turning their train. |
