Dormant Parts of the EBT

This is the Augwick Creek Bridge looking south.

Looking north from the other side.

Taken from outside the engine house, this is what #3 looks like.

This is a picture taken inside #3's fire box.

This was taken from on the tender looking at #3's cab.

#3's first 2 drive wheels and rods

This is the best shot I could get from the front of #3. #3 takes up all of the engine house and it's almost impossible to shoot the front of it.

This is Pouge Bridge. It is the largest bridge on the East Broad Top. It is just south of the Southern Huntingdon High School.

This is the Saltillo station. The tracks can be seen on the bottom left of the picture. The building was lost on 12/31/04 after being demolished.

This is a washout. This used to be a brige, then was a culvert.

This is part of the wye at Robertsdale where one leg crosses over a creek.

This is the south portal of Sidling Hill Tunnel. There is a cave-in just inside the opening, however, it is possible to walk from one end to another, though I would not suggest it.

Here we see the EBT's rails passing through a cemetary on the north side of Shirleysburg.

Here is what's left of a dam, reservoir, and pump house that supplied water to the EBT in Mt. Union.

This is a runaway train ramp near Robertsdale.

Here is a view of the Robertsdale complex.

This fan once circulated air through some mines.

Here is the entrance to the #5 mine at Robertsdale.

The LaPalace Hotel in Saltillo.

I had heard that the Saltillo station was going to be demolished and I had hoped to get a few last shots of it. Unfortunaly, I was just one day late.

What a mess. This has long since been cleaned up and the foundation filled in.

The pile of rubble that is Saltillo station.

If you look closely, you will notice the metalalic remains of a wooden boxcar that was used for storage in the Mt. Union Yard. There are at least three of these in the yard and you have to look carefully for them.

This is the standard gauge scale, used to weigh loaded PRR hoppers out of the cleaning plant. The scale itself is fully intact, but unfortunatly, the scale house has some deterioration.

June 2005

While driving to work I noticed a couple pieces of supports fell off the Mt. Union Coal Trestle. This is the hopper that is in danger.

Looking up at the structure you can seen what parts failed by comparing to the other side.

Under the structure you can see the other hopper is in better shape; who knows why. Notice the trestle has three girders, one for each rail.
