Join us and the EBT for Easter on the Rails!

Posted on by 487

Create a new Easter tradition on the rails at the Rockhill Trolley Museum and the East Broad Top Railroad. Ride the train and hunt for eggs, then ride a trolley and meet the Easter Bunny!

Passengers will depart the Historic Orbisonia Station for a round-trip excursion over the newly restored East Broad Top mainline through the scenic Aughwick Valley. Once back in the railyard, families can participate in an Easter egg hunt for a chance to find sweet treats or even some other special surprises.

Passengers will then transition to a trolley ride at the Rockhill Trolley Museum to meet the Easter Bunny and take home a special gift for each child. Enjoy a nostalgic tour aboard an antique electric streetcar past historic industrial ruins and steep mountain narrows alongside the picturesque Blacklog Creek.

After eight years of successfully operating trolleys on our own, the Rockhill Trolley Museum is thrilled that there is a new non-profit owner for the East Broad Top Railroad with a mission very similar to our own. We look forward to the success of this new venture and to seeing the East Broad Top Railroad operating once again.

The Rockhill Trolley Museum is deeply grateful to the Kovalchick family for their decades of unfailing support since our first trolley car arrived in 1960. We appreciate everything they and the EBT have done for our preservation efforts and trolley operations. Without their consistent support over the years, the Rockhill Trolley Museum could not have become what it is today.

The Rockhill Trolley Museum management volunteers were kept informed of the negotiations to establish the East Broad Top Foundation Inc. and we are looking forward to working with them. We are thankful for this new beginning for the East Broad Top Railroad and the exciting possibilities the future holds for both of our organizations.ebt_passenger_rear_plat

We are looking forward to making Rockhill Furnace a major destination where historians, railfans and all visitors will be able to ride and experience two very unique forms of transportation.
