Fantastic ONLY narrow-gauge steam RR east of the Rocky Mountains
East Broad Top Railroad的点评
点评：What a treat!
The East Broad Top is the only remaining narrow gauge railroad east of the Rocky Mountains. Run as a non-profit by a volunteer organization since 2020, it sports six 2-6-2 Mikado steam engines (only one currently operating), and about 30 miles of track and right of way between Rockhill and East Broad Top mountain.
Originally built in 1871 to supply iron ore from East Broad Top mountain to the foundry in Rockhill, the railroad maintains a fully operational 1903 machine shop run by two huge boilers powering a fixed steam engine that drives all the machinery through a vast set of overhead leather fan-belts. It was state of the art technology in 1903.
Today only 4.5 miles of track are operational providing a pleasant one-hour out and back ride on the train. But the non-profit has big plans to reopen the entire line to East Broad Top mountain.
I just loved visiting the machine shops and the round house. There is a serious 2-3 hour tour of the machine works that is offered from time to time; check out their website. I just took the normal one hour tour of the round house and machine shop because we just had half a day to spend. But I'd go back to hang out and talk with the machinists rebuilding the engine.
The little town is tiny; 300 people, but picturesque with nice bread and breakfasts (including one in the original home of the railroad superintendent.) So if you want to treat yourself to a real romantic mini-trip, take your partner down for an overnight or two.

东布罗德山顶铁路是落基山脉以东仅存的一条窄轨铁路。自 2020 年以来，这条铁路由一个志愿者组织以非营利组织的形式运营，拥有六台 2-6-2 Mikado 蒸汽机（目前只有一台在运行），以及 Rockhill 和东布罗德山顶山之间约 30 英里的轨道和通行权。
这条铁路最初建于 1871 年，用于将东布罗德山顶山的铁矿石供应给 Rockhill 的铸造厂，保留了一个完全运行的 1903 年机械车间，由两台巨大的锅炉驱动一台固定蒸汽机，该蒸汽机通过一组巨大的高架皮带驱动所有机械。这是 1903 年最先进的技术。
如今，只有 4.5 英里的轨道在运行，提供一小时的愉快往返火车旅程。但这家非营利组织有宏伟的计划，要重新开放通往东布罗德山顶的整条线路。
我很喜欢参观机械车间和机车库。不时会提供 2-3 小时的机械厂参观；请查看他们的网站。我只是参加了正常的一小时机车库和机械车间参观，因为我们只有半天时间。但我会回去闲逛并与正在重建发动机的机械师聊天。
这个小镇很小；只有 300 人，但风景如画，有美味的面包和早餐（包括在铁路主管原来的家中享用的早餐）。所以如果你想给自己一次真正浪漫的迷你旅行，带你的伴侣去那里过夜一两晚。
