| Post subject: | Preservation Pennsylvania Webinar on EBT Rebirth May 25 |
Preservation Pennsylvania to host webinar about the rebirth of the EBT May 25 https://www.preservationpa.org/webinar-east-broadtop-railroad/ Join us to ride the rails (via webinar) and learn about the East Broad Top Railroad (Rockhill Furnace, Huntingdon County). Once called “the dormant gem of railway preservation,” the EBT RR is a rare narrow-gauge railway and time capsule of industrial technology. After many years of inactivity, the East Broad Top Railroad has been purchased by a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. The EBT Foundation is working with the volunteers of the Friends of the East Broad Top and the Rockhill Trolley Museum to return its Baldwin-built steam locomotives to operating condition and to continue stabilizing the railroad’s historic buildings. Linn Moedinger, a member of the EBT RR Board and lifelong railroad preservationist, will explain why this National Historic Landmark is so special. Jane Sheffield of the Allegheny Ridge Corporation/Heritage Area (and a member of Preservation Pennsylvania’s Board) will discuss the EBT RR usefulness as a heritage attraction and economic catalyst. |
