Friends of the East Broad Top is now the proud owner of two rather rough narrow gauge passenger cars. Details will be posted later. I have no details on the purchase or other items in the auction other than the successful bid by FEBT. Now the real work for EBT supporters begins.

To help insure a future for these cars send your donations to the FEBT restoration fund treasurer Nancy E. Jacqmin at the following address:

Boy that is great news!!! I just recently visited the EBT --- if you've never been there go, it's worth at least a 500 mile round trip or longer and a stay over! There might not be anything like it in the USA --- Pennsylvania railroading and industrial heritage at it's best!
