Our Locomotives |
 |
#12 was the first and smallest mikado (2-8-2) to enter the EBT's roster. Millie, as she was named in 1960, was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia in 1911. #12 set the standard for the rest to come. In this shot, #12 brings a mixed freight into the Rockhill yard during a Fall Spectacular. |
 |
Locomotive #14 was built in 1912. She was the second narrow gauge engine of her class but heavier and more powerful than #12. #14's train crests McMullen's Summit. |
 |
With the increased coal and passenger traffic, the EBT found it necessary to purchase a third mikado, locomotive #15, which is almost identical to #14. Here #15 is oiled up for a day's work. |
 |
Entering the age of modern steam in 1916, the EBT received it's first of three "large" mikados, #16. Unlike the previous three smaller locomotives, #16 came with superheaters, piston valves and a Southern valve gear. Today, #16 is currently inoperable and is stored in the roundhouse. In this view #16 is on display at the head end of a string of hoppers. |
 |
In 1918, the second largest mikado, #17, arrived on the property. #17 is the only "large" mikado to be restored for tourist service. This shot shows #17 on a fan trip in the fall of 2001. |
 |
The last and largest narrow gauge locomotive the EBT purchased was #18. This locomotive completed the set of three large mikados. Today, she resides in the roundhouse, inoperable. Here #18 leads a train over the Aughwick Creek Bridge with box cars, flat cars, and hoppers in tow. This photo dates to the 1940's. |
 |
M-1 was assembled in 1927 by the EBT in the Rockhill shops from a kit supplied by Brill and Westinghouse. M-1 is still operating with nearly all of its original parts and makes its usual appearance every year at the Fall Spectacular. |
 |
M-4 is a Plymouth, 2-axle diesel-mechanical locomotive built in 1947. This critter can be seen on weekdays doing light switching. |
 |
M-7 is a General Electric center-cab switcher. It is diesel-electric and is used as our heavy duty yard switcher and occasionally substitutes for a steam engine. |
