Morning Freight Train

Experience a peaceful morning journey aboard a recreated East Broad Top freight train as it travels along the historic narrow gauge mainline. Guests ride at the rear of the train enjoying an authentic railroad atmosphere that reflects the working freight operations of the past. The excursion offers scenic views of forests fields and rolling countryside while providing a rare opportunity to experience heritage rail travel during a quiet early departure. Limited seating creates an intimate experience focused on relaxation and historic appreciation rather than staged photo activities.

This roundtrip excursion travels either north toward Colgate Grove or south toward the PA 994 extension depending on the scheduled date before returning to Orbisonia Station. Boarding begins early in the morning and visitors should arrive ahead of time for orientation and ticket pickup. Historic railcars are warmed by coal stoves during colder weather but are not fully climate controlled so layered clothing is recommended. Boarding requires climbing steep narrow stairs and this specific departure is not accessible for mobility devices. Schedules may change when necessary to maintain safe operations.
