  Was there in the 80's I think when our children were young. We rode behind the steam engine to the picnic grounds, had a picnic and returned. When I heard that it was done I felt horrible. Reading and seeing this video about the rebirth has brought joy to me. At 82 I don't drive much so anything I can read or see about the EBT is a blessing, thank you.

  I also as a very young man got to ride and picnic on the way to see my 8yr older Brother at Juniata College. All thanks to my Mom and Dad. <br>Good times and great memories thanks to you. Now retired and digging into the background and restoration of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1309">#1309</a> being returned to regular runs on the WMSR. My Dad&apos;s Father worked on the 2-6-6-2 engines in the Hagerstown Roundhouse during WW1. I definitely will be making some road trips in the &nbsp;near future.

  I love that the East Broad Top is back and thriving! Thanks for the video. We were there last week. We will be doing a separate video of the trolley. You did a great job with the trolley museum! Thanks again for sharing!

  Once again nice job man. I can only imagine the hours it took to hand draw the map and for only about 20 seconds of film time. Dedication comes to mind!

  Robertsdale is a must see! They are doing tours of the old mine sites of mine 1 and 5, as well as a couple hundred feet of mainline cleared for handcar rides

  I did see a shot of a test weight car when you were talking about the beam cracking on the passenger car!

  A long time back, some 50 years ago I was introduced to the EBT as an assistant to a photographer who shot and supplied postcards thru Dexter Press to the railroad gift shop. Spent a winter climbing thru snow drifts setting up shots. Got a chance to walk the shops to shoot the machinery also.

  great video for a great narrow gauge railroad!

  Standard guage is 4 ft. 8 1/2&quot; in. wide, not 4 ft. &nbsp;Folk lore says that the guage is based on the width of old Roman chariot ruts, which was wide enough for two horses side by side pulling the chariots.

  It truly is a landmark. I was so glad to get there for the 2021 fall spectacular. <br><br>Also note: the EBTF wants to have at least 3 steamers running at once
