Have you purchased your "Christmas in Coal Country" tickets yet? We're busy planning decorations and lights for the station, our open train cars, and the trolleys (and Santa's been working on his beard he stopped by the station the other day with an update!) We're even working on a model railroad! And we're making sure everyone will be safe and socially distanced. For tickets and details, visit https://eastbroadtop.com/christmas-event2020.html We look forward to sharing the holiday spirit with all!

Even No. 17 is in a festive mood for watching tonight’s Christmas in Coal Country excursions! #ebtrr #christmasincoalcountry #steam

If you don't count Monday morning's snow, it's been a great week for getting work done at the EBT.

Happy Halloween from the East Broad Top! Unfortunately, Roy Wilburn’s ghost took a mental-health day. But we have the in-real-life Henry Long filling in! We gave away all the candy we had.

A slew of terrific photographers were here over the weekend for a private photo event involving locomotives, lights, reenactors, and even smoke bombs. Yesterday afternoon, though, all was quiet and back to normal.

Individual seats for "Christmas in Coal Country" are now on sale! Bundle up for a safe ride in a decorated EBT open car behind our Christmas-themed diesel, M-7, and then get dropped off at the neighboring Rockhill Trolley Museum for a trolley ride. You'll also enjoy hot chocolate and a cookie, visit a model railroad, and see Santa! Dates are December 4, 5, 11, and 12. Tickets are $20 for kids 2-12, $25 for adults, and are available online only. Visit https://eastbroadtop.com/christmas-event2020.html to purchase yours! (Note that the cabooses are sold out.)

For the first time in 35 years, a set of drivers was dropped from under a locomotive in the EBT shops this morning. No. 14's front axle was positioned over the pit jack, the pit rails were removed, and the drivers were slowed lowered out of the frame. The 14 will get new steel wheel centers.
