Statement of Significance (as of designation - January 28, 1964):
East Broad Top Railroad is a rare surviving example of the once
common small gauge railroad companies that served the mining and
lumbering industries throughout the nation from the
late 19th century to the early 20th century.
Built in 1871 primarily to transport coal, the East Broad Top
Railroad today is a privately operated tourist attraction.
It retains much of the original rolling stock, the station buildings
and a rail yard complete with machine and car shops, blacksmith shop,
foundry, turntable and roundhouse.
