East Broad Top Photos & Videos

I’ve been posting my EBT shots in the Hand Laid Track thread, the title of which is a bit misleading, so I decided to create a dedicated post for EBT Photos and videos.

I welcome others to post their EBT content as well. I will start of with a video taken yesterday just a few feet North of my back yard!

This scene plays out at least 3 times per day on operating days. On returning to Rockhill, 16 pauses for the track three switch to be thrown, then moves the train over to track three pausing again for the switch to be put back before proceeding toward Meadow Street and the wye.

Nice! Taken October 2023 L-R are: Ralph Berg, David Marconi, Dave Rooster Russel, myself at my post COVID weight. I’ve since dropped a lot of that

I could post EBT photos forever, but I’ll try to restrain myself.

This was taken at the recent FEBT Reunion/16mm Assoc NA Annual get-together. #19, the new just-in-case-we-need-it diesel parked waiting to help.

M-1 was hauled out for trips as it was a special day. M-3 made an appearance too.

Back in 2010, we chartered M-1 for a fan trip to Colgate Grove and back. About 30 of us took part - Roger Cutter organized it; that’s him in the middle. (Geoff Ringle on the left, Ken Molchahow on the right.) It doesn’t have a lot of seats, so they put some in the baggage compartment.

From the same trip, here’s Courtney Brown driving next to the very noisy Winton gas engine.’

Courtney has aged a bit (haven’t we all). Here he is preparing to take the 11:15 M1 trip to Colgate Grove during the reunion…

Courtney Brown and Nevin Beyers were 16’s engine crew on all 10 runs to the grove this weekend.

They were running at least one speeder in Rockhill for the reunion. This is The Spider. It’s probably the most comfortable to ride, but looks unstable. The high sprung seats with grabs make it my favorite!
