Detail
For railroad operators, these cars are also cost-effective, utilizing existing frames and trucks from freight cars. This model represents one of the open-sided cars used on the historic East Broad Top Railroad in central Pennsylvania. Operating as a tourist railroad since ceasing service as a common carrier in 1956, the East Broad Top is one of the most complete historic railroad operations in the United States and has been described as an irreplaceable national treasure by the Smithsonian Institution.
