EAST BROAD TOP

Now the rails rust quietly in the forest, but once they saw hard-working steam engines hauling long trains of coal. At the East Broad Top's Rockhill headquarters is a complete shops complex built in the 19th century and fully equipped to maintain the railroad, its locomotives and rolling stock. In this time capsule of American industrial history, you can still find work that was started over a half century ago and that waits patiently for skilled hands to return to the lathes, drills and forges.
