Along the East Broad Top recalls the glory days of one of the oldest narrow gauge railroad lines in America, dating from 1873. It's a fascinating story of the hard-working people and the three-foot-gauge trains that moved Broad Top coal from the mines in central Pennsylvania. Interestingly enough, this unique railroad still runs today as a tourist line.
