The East Broad Top Railroad held their annual "Fall Spectacular" October 11-12, 2008, which featured steam- and diesel-powered excursions over their three foot gauge line and an interesting variety of other activities. The star of the two day event was EBT?s 2-8-2 No. 15, which powered five excursions each day between the Orbisonia, PA depot and Colgate Grove. This engine underwent an extensive18 month overhaul to meet current FRA requirements for steam locomotives, and was placed back in service in September 2007. This is the 10:00 AM train north bound on the EBT main three miles north of Orbisonia passing through colorful fall foliage en route to Colgate Grove on Sunday October 12th
