O East Broad Top Freight Train Set (BAC25025)

The O East Broad Top - Freight set captures the rich history of the East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company. This railroad began operations in 1872 primarily to mine and transport coal from the Broad Top Mountain in central Pennsylvania. Following the closure of the mines in 1956, the railroad found new life through a company that offered tourist excursions along a small section of the line. Notably, the East Broad Top railroad distinguished itself as the only original narrow-gauge railroad to survive east of the Rocky Mountains for a significant portion of its existence until it ceased operations in 2011. The revival of steam locomotives on its tracks in 2021 marks an exciting return, allowing enthusiasts to experience the railroad's storied past once more. Bachmann celebrates this heritage with the introduction of the freight train set, perfect for collectors and hobbyists alike.
