The East Broad Top Railroad is a narrow gauge line that started life as a coal hauler in the late 1800's. It shut down in 1956 due to depressed demand for coal, and increasing costs. Four years later it was reborn when the towns of Orbisonia and Rock Hill Furnace wanted a display for their bicentennial celebration. Kovalchik Salvage did them one better, offering 5 mile rides.

The East Broad Top is no longer moving coal from Broad Top Mountain, but is hauling tourists on Weekends from June through October.

The Friends of the East Broad Top offers tours of the shop complex, which was built around 1900. There are "speeder" rides in the yard, and the Rock Hill Trolley Museum offers rides on historic trolley equipment in that location as well on the old Shade Gap Branch, which has been rebuilt with standard gauge track.

The FEBT is doing restoration work on the buildings in Rock Hill Furnace, as well as in Robertsdale, where the earliest coal mines on the line were located.

Located a few hours from New York, Washington, Philly, and Pittsburgh, the location is roughly midway between Altoona and Harrisburg, PA
