Campers will depart from the train to enjoy a picnic lunch (provided by Beacon Lodge) at an old-fashioned picnic grove and take a later train back to the station. Founded in 1856, the East Broad Top began as one of many narrow gauge railways carrying lumber, ore, coal, and passengers. Old number 12 and her five sisters puffed and snorted between Mount Union and Woodvale for several decades, but by 1956, the EBT was the last operating narrow gauge steam line east of the Rock Mountains. The railroad was forced to shut down that same year due to slumping coal demand and competition from roadways. The EBT continues to operate tourist trains on weekends from June through October including some special events. Our equipment ranges from passenger cars built in the 1880's to steam locomotives from the 1910's to speeders from the 1920's and later.
