Railroad Museum To Host Scenic Train Ride

The Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will host a daylong Ramble to the East Broad Top Railroad on Sunday, Sept. 12.

The event will begin in Orbisonia, where guests will board a restored, diesel-powered East Broad Top Railroad train. Passengers will travel through the Aughwick Valley and lunch at an on-site cafe. They will then tour the East Broad Top Railroad's restoration, where they will be able to see the stationary steam engine that powers the shop machinery as well as the ongoing work on two of the railroad's Baldwin steam locomotives and passenger cars.

In the afternoon, passengers will ride aboard one of the Rockhill Trolley's vintage electric streetcars alongside the Blacklog Creek. There will also be free time for viewing the vintage tractors and steam traction engines at the Antique Traction Show.

Separate fees will apply to members and nonmembers of the Friends of the Railroad Museum. The registration deadline is Friday, Aug. 20. Spaces are limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. The flyer and registration form and Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania membership applications are available at http://www.rrmuseumpa.org.
