I'm so happy EBT is up and running again. That place is some of the happiest childhood memories I have with my dad, and was thrilled to take him back this fall to tour the grounds.
I can not wait for this railroad to come back with steam power! What a great historic place! Nowhere can you travel through time as authentically as at the EBT.
Reminds me of the Union Pacific filming a pair of 2-8-0s using compressed air and burning tires in the smokebox. It was for their film on the 4000 big boys.
This is a great video to look back at the things E.B.T had before they closed for the 2nd time. It's very exciting to see that No.16 is back under steam. Excellent video!
The black and white scene at about 6:00 looks like it was shot by the famous N&W railroad photographer, O. Winston Link, back in the late 1950s. Thanks for sharing!
Great footage of my favorite railroad! I haven't been to the EBT since the Fall Spectacular in 2006. The photo freight runbys are always fun. I particularly enjoyed the scenes of the train headed southbound at speed through Orbisonia. It almost felt like #15 was going to keep on going south all the way to Robertsdale. I sure hope someday I can see the whole line reopened but right now I'm pulling for the new operators to get us back to basic operations. This was nice to see this morning thank you for sharing it.
Wow. Beautifully done. Seeing #15 facing that direction at the coal dock is a first. Looking forward to seeing that more as the return to life progresses. Thanks for posting this.
This footage is from 2010, when only #15 was operational - hence the creative use of smoke bombs in the other locomotives. As you may know, currently none of the EBT steam locomotives are operational. They are working on #14 and #16 with hopes one of them will be completed by the end of the year. Time will tell!
Glad the EBT will soon be back with us! Great video thanks for sharing. Never knew this happened I guess Pete lost me from his mailing list as I haven't gotten any trips in many yrs.
Thanks for the compliments! Of course, this trip was from over ten years ago. I finally got around to digging the footage out of my archive in anticipation for the EBT’s return. You can always keep tabs on Lerro’s upcoming events here: www.lerrophotography.com/photoshoots/railroad-photo-shoots/
@@fuscoproductions I'm surprised they don't try and restore at least two more after the 16 that way they have three on display and three running during the busy season.
Can you believe it's now been 1 year since that non profit group bought the EBT from the kovalchick family. Man I'm sure hyped for their plans in the future with the railroad, hope they can get 14 or 16 running by later this year since i don't think neither mikado will be ready by the time they reopen in may or June of this year but we'll see what happens
The Kovalchicks would have never reopened more of the railroad but this group will. They actually have plans to head west toward the tunnels. But, their first goal is reopening the five miles to Colgate wye.
It is a preserved narrow gauge railroad in western Pennsylvania that is getting a new lease on life. It’s like a time capsule - 6 authentic 3-foot gauge locomotives that have never left the property since the day they were delivered, original shops, buildings, trackage, and more. Definitely worth checking them out: www.eastbroadtop.com

Same, Wish my grandmother was still around so I could go again with her. She used take me all the time back in the late 2000’s.
UPDATE!!!!!! 16’s restoration has been completed and she’s back on the rails again!!!
@@amtrak_121 fuck yes
Excellent footage, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! :-)
Every frame of this looks like a painting.
I can not wait for this railroad to come back with steam power! What a great historic place! Nowhere can you travel through time as authentically as at the EBT.
The grading on this in particular is stunning, and the angles are good as always.
Thank you! It helps to start with peak fall colors. The fall of 2010 was a colorful one in Pennsylvania. :)
This is quite a look back to when steam was in operation on the East Broad Top Railroad I look forward to the return of steam this year
This is just phenomenal
Using smoke bombs for the smoke was surprisingly effective!
Is it fake? How were the engines moving?
@@potatohead5910 #15 was the only one operating under real steam. #17 and #18 were the 2 with smoke bombs

Wonderful job Mr Fusco! If I may ask, what is the camera that you used to film this charter?
Thank you! This one was filmed with the Canon XHA1.
always love #15's 3 chime. it feels like you are driving the no.15 in the early days of the EBT. thanks joe fusco
I'm so glad this railroad will make a comeback someday.
...soon!

This is absolutely breathtaking. WELL done 👏👏👏
Congratulations. You folks have performed a miracle.

Gotta love the E.B.T, I can't wait to see the "new" Railroad
Amazing videography as always. Your channel has some of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the kind words! :) I appreciate it.
I’m a bit disappointed that the rest of the team weren’t running, but I am glad 15’s managing well.

Great video! I can’t wait for the EBT to return later this year.
This was beautiful
gotta be the best railroad photo production site even some really good artworks
Amazing Video Joe! Can't wait for the return of the East Broad Top!
I just love steam locomotives 🚂 ❤️
🚂🚞🚞Very Beautifull view on different 🚞🚞
Good video and camera work.
OVER the top video. WOW! 👽
it’s so picturesque, i love it :)

@@fuscoproductions thanks. Will definitely do that I'm sure he has ideas to do something with 2102😊which will be real soon!
15 is such a beautiful loco
That whistle is iconic
Apparently. There is a sound effect of one of the Steam locos at EBT
...a sound effect? Not sure what you mean exactly.
Like someone has recorded something involved with those locomotives there and is in MP3 and WAV Formats on the internet
Great video, Joe! Loved all of the shots! Good timing with it being a year since the big day. wonder where you may have gotten that idea... 🤔
the whistle sounds eerily similar to another famous east coast narrow gauge locomotive
Ahhh the E.B.T. locos have friends
Magic.
I forget just how many of the steam locomotives still exist because I forgot how many there were
Well, at the East Broad Too, six mikados still exist (12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18). One of them will be operating again soon (16).
@@fuscoproductions I'm surprised they don't try and restore at least two more after the 16 that way they have three on display and three running during the busy season.
@@RailPreserver2K they have big plans, but they’re trying to finish at least one of them first!
whoa---so good

@@robkrasinski6217 I know, I've been following them on Facebook
Did you ever know that there were trains in Mexico like steam trains, diesel or electric locomotives
How do the smoke bombs work
They are lit and then dropped into the smokestack just before each runby. They produce smoke for several minutes.
Really well done. You have a great eye. Makes my efforts look like they were filmed by a two-year-old.
Thank you, but I enjoy your work as well!
Wish EBT still sounded like this and stopped whistling and running like they’re at SRC!
What the significance of the "White Flags" up front?
👏👏👏👏
Is this like a 3/4 scale historical railroad or something?

@@fuscoproductions It’s actually in central PA. Maybe a bit south.
@@reagansmith8859 haha, growing up in eastern PA, it has always been “western” PA to me, but perhaps you are correct.
Anyone here after the restoration of 16?
I watch this video around 5 times a week so I’ve always been here
It'd be awesome if they put some coal in the hoppers.
