A life chasing narrow gauge trains Ch 7

Up to chapter 7? Anyway, after four years in the Navy and my adventures in the western Pacific (and many return visits to the DRGW ng), I headed east to school in Philadelphia. A 1967 stop at EBT found nothing running at Orbisonia. It was not until 1971 that I got some pictures of trains there. I am so please to hear that the EBT finally has found a way forward, it is such a historic treasure, not only of steam railroading, but also of industrial history. Here are three shots from 1971 followed by two from 1974.
