Experience a rare behind-the-scenes look at our restoration effort guided by the EBT Foundation’s Master Mechanic.
This two-hour tour will take visitors into areas of the EBT’s historic roundhouse normally inaccessible to the public for a comprehensive look at the railroad’s unique fleet of narrow-gauge steam locomotives, motorcars, and rolling stock.
You’ll learn about the history and design of the equipment, get a comprehensive overview of our current restoration effort, and also enjoy an exclusive look into the EBT’s historic bus garage, which currently houses our “modern” air-brake shop.
