Eastern Railroad Discussion > EBT & Rockhill Trolley 08/06/22Date: 08/07/22 08:03 EBT & Rockhill Trolley 08/06/22 Author: OpenKnuckle Yesterday I visited the East Broad Top to see the progress coming along with the 3' narrow gauge railroad. Here's just some fun photos I took on my visit. Enjoy!
1. Philadelphia Transportation Company #2743 car built in 1947. 2. Johnstown Traction Company #355 built in 1925 awaiting to depart at the station. 3. EBT M-4, a 2 axle 12 ton locomotive built in 1947 by Plymouth Locomotive Works.    Date: 08/07/22 08:06 Re: EBT & Rockhill Trolley 08/06/22 Author: OpenKnuckle 4. EBT #12 poses in the roundhouse in stall 2 beside EBT #18, which has not operated since 1956.
5. EBT #18 beside #15 in the roundhouse. 6. Two of the Four new passenger cars EBT purchased that will be in operation soon.

The drive wheels had cracks in them and are currently being worked on at the Strasburg Railroad.
