Spend a morning "around the turntable" and get an in-depth look at how our crews prepare Locomotive No. 16 for a day of service at the East Broad Top Railroad!

In railroad vernacular, a "Hostler" is the person responsible for getting a steam locomotive ready for the rails! You and a small group of visitors will be led by a knowledgeable guide who will take you behind the scenes with the engine crew while they inspect the locomotive, oil around, prepare the coal-fire, and all of the other tasks necessary for a full day of operation.

You'll also enjoy unique photo opportunities, learn more about the EBT's unique fleet of steam locomotives, and even take a tour of the cab!
