We are proud to offer at least one wheelchair-accessible train car on most public excursions at the East Broad Top Railroad. Due to the historic nature of our equipment, not every car is wheelchair accessible. A hydraulic lift provides access to our wheelchair-accessible car, and other members of the party can sit in the same car.
If this car is available, you will have the option to select "wheelchair" as a ticket type when booking your reservation. Please only select this option for the passenger who will utilize the lift, and ensure that all other passengers are booked in the same class-of-service.
Note The egg-hunt area is accessible by compacted gravel walkways. There are no paved walkways at the egg-hunt area. Please contact our station prior to booking with any accessibility questions.
