East Broad Top Pics from June 6/7, 2008

Opening Weekend


FEBT has finished hopper 802 and moved it over with the rest of the painted hoppers.
For the first time in around 15 years, the EBT is burning Broad Top Coal. Notice how large the run-o-mine lumps are with the Orbisonia in the background.
Here is the boxcar being converted to an open car.
In the last month or so, removal of the boney pile has been finished, leaving a wide open empty area.
At around 2 am, #15's fire is lit. Within 15 minutes it is blazing hot.
