The East Broad Top Railroad:

A few pictures from a visit to the E.B.T. on August 18, 2001. |
 After completing her first run, No. 14 waits with her train at the Orbisonia station. |
 A pair of the railroad's more modern switchstands. |
 The 1 p.m. train crosses the Blacklog Creek girder bridge. |
 A digital-zoom shot of No. 14. |
 Another digital-zoom shot, showing the train on the Long Fill. The Runks Road underpass is in the lower middle of the image. |
 Coming back from the picnic grove, the 1 p.m. train winds through the gentle S-curve north of Runks Road. |
 A straight shot through the rear door of the "Orbisonia" -- you can even see the reflection in her bevelled mirror. |
 Having negotiated the Rockhill wye, No. 14 heads begins the short run up through the yard. |
 Beside the shops, the locomotive eases to a stop over the inspection pit. Above her coupler is part of the railroad's vast collection of rusty tires. |
 The next stop is over the ash pit. |
 The engine inches onto the turntable. That's E.B.T. aficionado Lance Myers on the right -- he and Nevin Byers spent much of the day riding and chasing the trains. |
 With a few soft chuffs from her exhaust, No. 14 slips past us and into her stall. |
