The most INCREDIBLE preserved railroad almost didn't survive - these people SAVED it

- The East Broad Top Railroad is an amazing railroad - frozen in time, since 1956. It's been reported as one of the most "complete" railroads, retaining all of it's shops, accessory buildings, locomotives, and cars. The EBT has been back at it since 2020, and just recently got a steam locomotive back in service as of this year. It's a truly magnificent landmark everyone should see.
Huge thanks to @nicholasozorak2931 for putting together this incredible edit.

Since I "rediscovered" the East Broad Top back in 2016 and began filming it, telling the story through video has been a goal of mine. The trailer I created for the launch three years ago was a start, but I have filmed rebuilding efforts since then.
This video isn't just about the trains. It's about the people who made preservation of the railroad possible. Thank you Mark for this collaboration opportunity.
Folks, this video is Nick's masterpiece. I'm just happy I had a small piece of helping with it and presenting things to you all... It's fantastic to be able to collaborate with you on these things. These stories of preservation matter - and being able to share them in this way is fantastic. I hope everyone enjoyed.
I could see you and Hyce going around the country doing documentary films for RUclips.
what a great collaboration! Mark you are a great presenter and Nick gave us some wonderful shots! really a masterpiece! regards from Germany :)
Nick, thank you for doing such a fantastic job putting this together. With Mark as host, and featuring all of the people involved who brought back the EBT for the 3rd time.
There’s not just coal in the hills of Pennsylvania-there’s a diamond. 🥂
Looks like a straight up documentary you can see on History channel or a science channel
Still can’t believe this railroad reopened 3 times and still survives today
That's what I call production values!
Very interesting! Good work
Despite only being a quarter of the way through the year, this is probably the video of the year in my opinion! Great work Hyce!
I knew about the EBT and some of the restoration work but I didn’t know just how much history and work the railroad had
Absolutely loved the video! And the fact this was the first steam railroad I ever rode on back in the late 80's or early 90's made it even better.
Truly, a splendid piece of work. And dare I say, a fitting entry into the hallowed halls of true Documentary.
Was there several times as a youth in the sixties. Real nice.
Fantastic video all y'all!
I rode the EBT in the 70’s and am excited to see its return. I’m putting together a group to travel out to see and ride this magnificent little railroad.
Hope to see you all soon.
I have no idea what you're paying Nick, but he deserves a raise. The whole video was a masterpiece, and the outro was just spectacular.
Nick is a master of his craft. Always supremely excited to work with him, and this just lined up and worked out perfectly.
This whole thing deserves a TV slot, i was BLOWN AWAY
The whole video was edited like an actual discovery documentary. Especially the walking and talking, and the zoom out to the station. HEAVY props to you, Nick and everyone else for this banger of a video
Thanks for the props!
I completely second this. I don't often watch at 1x, but this was worth it.
Nick, if you can make more and or longer content on the East Broad Top (or in general actually) I'd certainly watch it.
Yes, a very nice job. I’ve been in media and television production over 35 years.
This was not what I was expecting to see….. the first scenes made my jaw drop and the documentary style was perfect. And now I might start studying the EBT a little bit more…. This is amazing
Wow, you've outdone yourself on this one. Truly epic. I hope you film more Videos like this!
Nice video Hyce. Are you planning to go to east broad top when they have restored the rest of the steam engines cause I might
So this is why East Broadtop gets so much attention. As much as I love locomotives, when I saw that machine shop, I think I fell in love.
We have me on the 2nd camera walking in for the first time, gasping, and saying "holy shit". Lol. It's incredible.
@Hyce that should be a members video clip then, some of the outtakes or unused footage from this trip
@@Ronald.Golleher you bet mate
You really have to see it to believe it. You saw the machine shop, but there's also the locomotive shop, car shop, foundry, blacksmith shop, and several more buildings and facilities. I used to volunteer there untill work made me stop, but I plan on resuming.
Your NOT the Only one Brother !! That steam powered MACHINE SHOP gets my Juices Flowing BIG TIME
I am a retired Toolmaker /Machinist {Old school} : ))
Ye gads. Talk about next level production. That's a hell of a story y'all told and I'm stoked for more content from the EBT. Fantastic job by Mark, Nick, and everyone behind the scenes, and huge thanks to the East Broad Top!!! 💜💜💜💜
The beginning looks absolutely STUNNING
The music is incredible.(cus you made it)
It just puts a wonderful smile on my face.
My family and I live directly beside the EBT. We have since 1974 and we love the trains. We are so thankful for the East Broad Top Foundation and what they have done to keep the EBT alive and prospering. Everyone needs to come and enjoy this magnificent piece of history! You won't be disappointed!
This is an excellent video and even though I have enjoyed the trains for many years, this video left me in awe of the East Broad Top Railroad!
This to me felt straight up like a documentary off the history channel. You've outdone yourselves guys. This deserves a lot more.
Hyce, I’m not exaggerating when I say this meets if not beats Tom Scott. Nick is a magician and you are a masterful presenter. I am certain you could take this to any network as a pilot and get yourself a twelve-episode season. If you don’t keep it up I will see you in your walls.
Y'all can call me a softie, I felt the weight of the emotions behind the EBT in this video and I am crying. Never give up on what you believe in.
This video is so good that the *only* criticism is the fact that the video is 14 minutes instead of 16 like the restored engine. It's a really nice video, good job!
Speechless actually, I didn’t want it to end! 👏 I had to watch it through before even commenting….
This is truly a masterpiece, the storytelling, the production, your music, the cinematography, the emotion, this is just everything.
The EBT should come to you and ask permission to use this video for their promotion, it would be awesome to have this play in the ticket office or visitor’s center for people to watch.
I do hope this video goes viral and you and your team get all the accolades you all so markedly deserve. And also that there are more videos like this to come, I could see this as a series of videos where you travel around the country and highlight steam preservation efforts.
We would certainly love to produce more videos like this!
@@NickOzorak . A semi-annual visit to document the progress of the restoration of the line South to Robertsdale would be good. There is so much more that remains covered by 60 + years of waiting to return to service.
just a thought.
I think this may be the best video I’ve seen from the channel. The level of quality here is amazing. I can’t wait to see more quality content from Hyce and Nick! ❤️
Truly an incredible video, I felt like I was watching a NatGeo documentary. Your presence in front of the camera was perfect, the direction and filming were spot on. The entire team created one of the most professionally produced videos I have ever seen. Seriously keep it up Hyce, everything from this to 3/4 of an Idiot are gold.
This is better than most documentaries I've seen even on the major platforms. This will surely stay around for years to come and be a part of railroad History! Thank you and your editor for the amazing work.
Incredible Story! This is exactly what we too (as a railroad museum) aim to achieve! And the style of the video is just perfect! Thank you, Hyce, Nick, and the EBT for this masterpiece. I personally hope to visit the US one day and see all of this in person. Greetings from Germany.
Wow! You've outdone yourself on this one. The quality of this video is awesome. Brought tears to my eyes. Been going to EBT since 1980. Great to see you there during the spectacular. Many thanks for showing people the great treasure that is the East Broad Top.
that speech was amazing. ive always been called crazy for seeing steamers as living but its good to see im not alone. but damn, that place looks amazing.
This was epically amazing. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. Well done my good man. Well done indeed.
First video about a railroads survival story that made me emotional.
Great job to you Mr. Huber and the lads that helped produce this masterpiece.
Long live the Broad Top!
As jealous as I am of the revitalized East Broad Top's deep-pocketed backers (those new passengers cars are 500k apiece!), I'm in awe of the story behind it. Thanks for producing this video, and here's to many more years of success for this gem of Pennsylvania.
That’s one hell of a story. Brings a tear to my eye to see how this railroad has stood the test of time and defied all odds.
Hyce for president :) the opening of the train running down the track leaving the trail of smoke and steam is so incredible, more than a work of art
This is an outstanding and wonderful documentary film you created and I loved it all. I have to say thank you so much to the Kolvalchik family for all they did to keep this railroad preserved and now to its new owners and volunteers for all there work to keep it preserved. I look forward to the future of EBT and to restoring the whole railroad and all the locomotives. But most of all thank you to all the people who have made it possible to see this railroad preserved for future generations the East Broad Top is a truly unique piece of our nation's past and railroad history and its the only one I pray it will be around for as long as possible.
Yet another RUclips documentary that is light-years better than anything from a major production, excellent work from everyone involved.
What a nostalgia kick seeing a railroad documentary again! I haven't watched something like this since I was a little kid. I'm so happy there are people like you out there are able and more than willing to share this information and express your admiration and love for the railroad. Looking forward to all the amazing videos down the line!
I don't usually comment before finishing a video, but I have to say I love the format. Great job Hyce and Nick! Now back to watching 😁
Hyce.. what a LOVELY little documentary. That was the best, most enjoyable 14 minutes i have spent in a long time. Cant wait to see what you do next
This was Beutifull! Thank you Hyce and Editor Nick for this video!
I did NOT expect a video like this, I was really pleasantly surprised! This is awesome!
I knew there were great videos in yours that weren't coming out of you yet, but this... this looks like a 15 minute 10.000$+ commercial kinda thing made for TV... this is INCREDIBLE
So glad this is out!!! Amazing video Hyce!!!!
Got to admit us is kinda of better than yours
I missed the big trip because "moving sucks". But Thanks for the video. You and Nick fucking blew this one out of the god damm park!
Very nicely done you and Nick sure knocked this one out of the park. It brought a tear to my eye because it's always inspiring to know that a handful of individuals can do so much even when the odds are against them or it seems pointless. Someday I may make it out there and enjoy the Railroad in all it's glory.
Hyce, I think I speak for everyone when I say this is AWESOME. Would love to see more films like this from you!!
Great video; however is there a longer version coming out? Well done everyone!!
Hyce I have watched you since 10k and I must say this is the best video you’ve ever made. I used think that American steam engines were inferior to British ones but you made me realise that the steam age is so much more than I once thought. Greetings form the UK
This is an amazing video. The EBT is an awe inspiring transformation from what it was just 3 years ago. Then it was an overgrown rail yard next to the trolley museum where I spent all of my time. Now it is a rail yard that you can actually see in its entirety with a functional steam locomotive and useable freight equipment. Then there is the immense work put into the shops. Most of the buildings were partially sunken into the ground now they all are level and don’t look like they are going to fall over.
I Lionel the documentary style of this video
This video brought Actual tears to my eyes...thank you so much Hyce...this truly's been a beautiful tale of a Railroad surviving through shear passion
DAAAAAAAAAM!!! This should be shown in the History Channel or the Discovery Channel AS IT IS. The camera angles, the editing, the way you conducted yourself. I love you videos. But, man! This got to be the best, so far.
I’m a new subscriber but I have been watching kan’s side of things but I decided to check out your channel and it looks absolutely beautiful.
This is fantastic! Absolutely beautiful scenery, camera work, narration, the lot! Even the end credits is something to behold. You've outdone yourself here Hyce, and I'm not complaining one bit!
Holy hell, that is THE most comprehensive, entertaining, and well done video I've seen about the EBT. Good work Mark. keep it up.
Love the video Mark! You and Nick outdid yourself’s on this one man! Hope someday I can visit the EBT myself. Truly great to see the whole thing have a third chance at life and continuing making its own history at the making!
Wow! this production value is off the charts, always impressed with your longer form in person videos. Love the RO stuff too but holy cow this video is a real treat!
Nick that was flipping amazing you should be so proud of yourself. And Hyce was a great host.
Wow Hyce, way to up the production values... Great job on the video. It's a real shame that more people don't know about these little heritage railroads. I used to enjoy taking rides on the New Hope Railroad when I was a little kid.
Absolutely stunning. One of the best documentaries I've seen on this platform. This quickly shot the EBT to the top of my "need to visit" list. Thank you.
Oh my lord. This intro. You've truly outdone yourselves on this, guys. I love it.
You and your crew are amazing, keep sharing your love of history and the Ingenuity of the steam era! Because we love watching it!
Love the direction of this video you two. It feels like watching a full length documentary despite its short runtime. Bravissimo!
Wonderful. I had never heard of the East Broad Top but now I want to visit. Y’all did a great job with the video and hope you will be able to do more like this in the future with other railroads.
This is remarkable stuff! Both the story itself and this content piece! Respect and thanks to all involved.
Oh yes finally great one man! Love the opening
Wow this production is top draw boys! Really, really enjoyed it!
Dude, this video was awesome, representing an equally awesome railroad! I cannot wait to see where this channel will go in the near and far future.
Been waiting for this video for a while. Stopped down there at their event in the fall for the friends of the EBT and it was cool then. Can’t wait to get back down there to see number 16. (They had it under lock and key when we took the shop tour and wouldn’t let anyone see it). Absolutely awesome… full stop…
OKAY, I know where my next adventure is going to be. I have to see this place. What an amazing group of people. Awesome video, Hyce.
Absolutely amazing that this reached 11k views in 11 hours, amazing job to everyone involved, has to be one of the best videos covering the east broad top!
Great job to Nick and you for making this masterpiece.Nick is really good at what he does and your commentary really brought it home :)
Hey there! Thank you for coming to Pennsylvania to make a video of the East broad top! There are so many of us will it back here in the east who grew up discovering and loving the East broad top railroad. Thank you for letting so many more people out your way know about it too. Take care! 😃
Hyce, thsi video is some incredibly high-quality stuff. One of the best produced videos on youtube dare I say.
10 out of 10 that was a wonderful documentary, and I think this could be very good idea to continue with for other railroads. Have a good Sunday everyone
I currently live ~1 1/2 away from the EBT, the railroad has so much history behind it! I remember the news about the #16 steam locomotive and I've been meaning to drag the family back up there for another train ride, always great fun! Love seeing videos like this Hyce, talking about train history and not only train history but what I feel is "my" train history just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks for the video, your the only channel I've joined on RUclips, and content like this is the exact reason why.
This is an Awesome video. I didn't want it to end, I could of watch it for a few hours.
A railroad that'll never die, that'll fight to the end of time! Thank you for sharing this amazing railroads history, I must take a visit!
Awesome video, I really like the documentory style.
The production value of this video is off the charts!
Wow, Hyce this is amazing work you can really see and even feel the emotion of the railroad and how they all are working to save such wonderful and quite beautiful history
wow what an intro, love to see some history on trains
I'm so depressed I wasn't able to make it to meet you I'm glad you enjoyed the ebt and got to see my hometown area and did it much justice with the beautiful presentation you did on it... hope you have more video to share of yout trip
Utterly spectacular dude! When’s part 2?
Hopefully soon! :) we've got like, 4-5 more videos at least from the EBT, though more focus-features rather than a global cinematic story like this.
Fantastic documentary! I'd love to see more videos like this!
This was one of your best videos! Thank you for making it.
its like i litteraly watched a million dollar production documentary on this historic landmark. id love to see more of this in the future.
Oh my goodness Mark! What an amazing production! This is definitely the best video you've ever made, hands down.
Amazing video
♥With all the bad news going on in our world I needed to see this! Thank you Hyce from the Old man in South Africa.
Oh my God this video was so good, I loved the way it was filmed and the story behind it, I hope one day I'll be able to get to go to the EBT or the railroad museum or something. But good job on thisman
As much as I'm mad that you went back east and didn't call me up, you did an OUTSTANDING job at this film. We'll get together eventually. -Cheers!
you werent kidding when you said nick to a banger job. also even seeing over the internet 16 breathe for the first time in a long time was definitely tear jerking
Hyce, if you made more videos like this I definitely wouldn't be mad man.
That's an amazing story from a railroad not far from me, thank you for sharing this hyce
Dude this was the best! Thank you for sharing this. And I bet they appreciate this too.
This was a wonderful video. I can't think of anything else to say. Excellent job all around.
Great video!! I visited EBT before its close in 2011 and was amazed at the place. It's all that you say. I was saddened when it closed, and I am thrilled that it's "back in business." I do hope to return and see its new incarnation.
Very nice video. I don’t live too far from EBT. I feel like I need to check it out now.
i love this video. is there any chance that more videos like this might come out?
