East Broad Top Railroad 2001

[@PennsyPro]

Wonderful footage! Looking forward to the railroad's return.

[@gfh110]

This was around the time that I visited the EBT as a kid. Can't wait to go back! Just restoring the 5 miles to the Colgate grove wye will be impressive, but imagine if the new foundation can start rebuilding the other 30 miles worth of rails. It could be the East coast's answer to the Durango & Silverton or Cumbres & Toltec!

[@regularguy7266]

My guy, you predicted the future. Also, EBT 16 is back!

[@MPT_Productions]

Excellent video. Can’t wait for its return to steam.

[@vincebreen3-55]

I really enjoy watching this video. To think this group has put 5 steam locomotive back in service, in 2001 is heart warming I wish your group continued grand results and continue progress even now in 2024

[@pabiker2147]

What a beautiful engine no 17 was, hopefully to be fully restored soon.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Likely second last

[@AtlanticCoastRailfanner]

Man poor 17. She's creaking and all slow. Hopefully she's better if EBT restores her soon. Can't wait for 16 to return.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

17 I heard will be the second last locomotive to return to service, her superheater header I believe collapsed on one of her last runs. She needs more than new tube sheets and firebox work. Her running gear and smokebox are an absolute nightmare

[@AtlanticCoastRailfanner]

@@nicholasmedovich8691 Gee I wonder why. She was harshly used in freight service along with 18 anyways so that explains it.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

@@AtlanticCoastRailfannerthink she had a mechanical failure 😨 I think. Something to do with the superheater header I believe.

Your video from October of 2017 was recommended by KZbin from another video I was watching and I’m very glad. I subscribed and went back to the beginning and was mesmerized by the quality and detail of your layout and your skills to frame each of the videos you posted. You are truly an artist and it shows in the build and weathering on your layout and the videos. I have caught up now and was surprised to see that the first video I saw of yours was apparently the last one of your layout. Does the layout still exist and what plans do you have for it? Will you be posting any more videos of it?

[@dferg100]

thanks, I was thinking of making a new video, its all N&W now

[@kadenrobinson7067]

Lovey video

#16: I'm about to save this railroad

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

And he sure saved the Railroad

13:07 17’s whistle back to normal after screaming like a little girl

[@LehighLollipop503]

Did the water finally get forced out of one of the chimes?

Hello, is it ok if I use some of your footage for a music video? I’ll be sure to credit you

[@brianfalzon6739]

I wonder if RGS 20 can visit the East Broad Top in the future just in case for a special occasional event?

[@Ian-qs3fz]

that’s a long journey

[@PABackyardRevivals]

Sweet video

[@FutureRailProductions]

Can I borrow some of your footage to make a video celebrating the railroad's return?

[@amtrak_121]

Does 15 use a Baldwin 3 chime and what kind of hideous whistle does 17 use

[@dferg100]

yes 15 dose have a 3 chime. do not know about 17

[@amtrak_121]

dferg100 no I know 15 has a three chime but is it a Baldwin 3 chime?

[@dferg100]

I read its a Crosby 5 inch 3 chime

[@steelrail-rs1sk]

Sounds like an overblown Crosby on 17. Once it warmed up during the tribute it sounded normal.

[@mattberkebile2419]

@@steelrail-rs1sk 17's whistle is damaged, they never got around to fixing it, thats why it shreaks

[@Scrat-hp2wl]

14:08 imagine when southern pacific No. 5021 was back on track. His whistle roars

Not sure if 16, 17, and 18 have the exactly the same length tenders coal tons water gallons etc. even though 18 is the largest and heaviest of all of the 6
