The East Broad Railroad’s unique three foot gauge gas-electric car M-1 discharges passengers at the wye south of the Orbisonia, PA station after making a run to Colgate Grove during the EBT’s "Fall Spectacular" on October 12, 2008. The M-1 was assembled by EBT employees in 1926 from components purchased from the J. G. Brill Company in Philadelphia. It has the distinction of being one of only a very few gas-electric cars built in the 1920s which was not converted to diesel. The M-1 still retains its original 1926 Brill-Westinghouse six cylinder in-line gasoline engine, which has never received a major overhaul. The M-1 resides in the EBT’s roundhouse during most of the year, and is brought out only during the "Fall Spectacular" or for other special occasions.
