| Description: Handsome and powerful Mikados, heavy coal
traffic, and a private car once used by President Grover Cleveland -
all on three-foot~ gauge track. In fact, Pennsylvania's East Broad Top
Railroad was not only the last narrow gauge line this side of the
Rockies but also a big-time operation in everything but width. This clinic will profile the line's history, rolling stock and operations, and is great background for those car-pooling to the EBT the following day. Lee Rainey is co-author of the definitive scholarly history of the railroad and now coordinator of volunteer restoration activities at the EBT's Rockhill Furnace headquarters.
