Many thanks go to all the folks who have kept the EBT preserved and running.
They've done a lot of hard work for a long time and, rarely paralleled, they
trust the rest of us to wander around responsibly and experience it.
As many of the newer photos chronicle restoration work by the FEBT in
Rockhill Furnace, I'd like to thank the EBT for the opportunity to contribute
in this direct way to the preservation of the railroad and for their trust in
us to do the work well and safely. I'd also like to thank the members of the
Rockhill Trolley Musuem for their encouragement, guidance, and support. It
would be more like labor and less like fun without them. Finally, thanks to
all the FEBT volunteers, with whom it has been a pleasure to spend so many
weekends. These are my sentiments, and are not meant to be an official
position of any organization. Much has been done, but it is a small fraction
of what needs done. More volunteers lets us complete projects faster and
work on more projects simultaneously. Each new person shortens a structure's
waiting time for repair, and that can make the difference between it being
there for years to come, or being preserved only in photos.

Chris Coleman's Unofficial EBT Homepage is an excellent on-line reference, with all manner
of factual, historical, and bibliographic information about the EBT.
Vagel Keller's Industrial Heritage Homepage also has very good information about the history of the region
of which the EBT was an integral part.
Finally, I encourage you to stop by the Friends of the East Broad Top, a nonprofit, tax-exempt educational and historical society, founded in 1982, dedicated to preserving and restoring the East Broad Top Railroad. If you would like to help us restore the railroad, whether in Rockhill Furnace or Robertsdale, please visit the FEBT website.
