Hide Profile

The Association of American Railroads formed in 1934 primarily to represent the freight railroad industry.

The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company was a short-line narrow gauge railroad, chartered in 1856 and built in 1872-1874 to service the coal fields of the remote Broad Top Mountain area of south-central Pennsylvania and to haul that product to the Pennsylvania Railroad at Mount Union or to on-line iron furnaces. The East Broad Top ceased operations in 1956 but was later designated a National Historic Landmark, and the steam-powered railroad was revitalized as a tourist attraction.
