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.
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. 🥂
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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!!! 💜💜💜💜
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Sometimes you have to remind people that without the railroad they would never be where they are! Preserving and rebuilding something like this is a tribute of the highest degree! A big thank you to the volunteers and workers! Today many forget how much work it took to get where we are today. Although I wish I could go back to the old days. Wish you all the best and don't let this railroad die. My respects to all! Greetings from Austria (Vienna)
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!
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.
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
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!
Now THIS is some top-tier steam documentary material! Kudos to the Hyce team for sharing this story, and to all the fine men and women of the EBT's past, present, and future.
Holy crap man, both you and Nick have totally outdone yourself with this one. I could easily mistake this for a feature film. Well done, to all of ya. ❤
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.
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! 😃
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!
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.
Man this is good stuff! I just got done with 8hrs of work and this is just so chill and we’ll made. Loving it from northern Italy! Great stuff good sir!🚀
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
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 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!
The EBT, C&TS, and NN (Nevada Northern) are absolutely incredible RR gems, frozen in time with original equipment and facilities. None of them would be possible without the people working hard behind the scenes to make it possible. I’m so excited for the current EBT. It’s going to be better and more expansive than the old tourist RR ever was.
Holy shit Hyce this is better than anything History Channel has done in 20 years. Bravo to you, Nick, and any other crew that helped! And to the EBT of course!
John here-Great video and narration. We've been members of the "Friends" for years, and like many we were afraid all the love and work that had been put into the preservation of the EBT was going to be for naught until the Foundation was created. We are so glad this wonderful piece of history, so ably and lovingly preserved by the Kovalchik family has been advanced to the next generation of preservation. It's so cool that the Foundation honored Nick by placing his name on the cab of #16. A fitting tribute to a great man!
This is easily on of my FAVORITE videos that I have seen, not just from you, Hyce, but over all of RUclips! I love everything about it! Can't wait to see more!
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.
I'm happy to see her still up and running, I really want to see it in person some day. The care and love these people have for the EBT is the same care and love I have for my own local railroads.
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 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
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.
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} : ))
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
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.
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!

It just puts a wonderful smile on my face.

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
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!
Still can’t believe this railroad reopened 3 times and still survives today
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.
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!!! 💜💜💜💜
Yet another RUclips documentary that is light-years better than anything from a major production, excellent work from everyone involved.
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.
Hyce, I think I speak for everyone when I say this is AWESOME. Would love to see more films like this from you!!
Oh my lord. This intro. You've truly outdone yourselves on this, guys. I love it.
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! ❤️

This was epically amazing. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. Well done my good man. Well done indeed.

Steam locomotives are awe inspiring, a preserved railroading town is on another level
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
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!
Hyce, this is one for the books! Keep this stuff coming! Very well done, Sir
Thank you much good sir! Gladly :)
That's what I call production values!
Very interesting! Good work
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 😁
Nick that was flipping amazing you should be so proud of yourself. And Hyce was a great host.
A true peice of history. Well done.
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.

This video gave me chills. You can hear the passion in everyone who worked on it and in Hyce for being able to cover it. Loved it, great job
The cinematic shots throughout the video were perfect
Glad you finally found yourself in our beautiful state. The EBT is a national treasure, and I hope to someday volunteer out there.
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.
You and your crew are amazing, keep sharing your love of history and the Ingenuity of the steam era! Because we love watching it!
This was Beutifull! Thank you Hyce and Editor Nick for this video!
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
Very well done. Extremely professorial video 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!
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!
Holy hell, that is THE most comprehensive, entertaining, and well done video I've seen about the EBT. Good work Mark. keep it up.
Now THIS is some top-tier steam documentary material! Kudos to the Hyce team for sharing this story, and to all the fine men and women of the EBT's past, present, and future.
Holy crap man, both you and Nick have totally outdone yourself with this one. I could easily mistake this for a feature film. Well done, to all of ya. ❤
Love the direction of this video you two. It feels like watching a full length documentary despite its short runtime. Bravissimo!
♥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.
Amazing!! Great people keeping America great!!!!!!!!!!

Wow this production is top draw boys! Really, really enjoyed it!
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.

Oh yes finally great one man! Love the opening
This feels like it should be on television; it's that good.
its like i litteraly watched a million dollar production documentary on this historic landmark. id love to see more of this in the future.
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!
This needs more views! This is absolutely professional
a true film for the ages well done hyce!
What an utterly fantastic video, thank you Mark!❤
The EBT, C&TS, and NN (Nevada Northern) are absolutely incredible RR gems, frozen in time with original equipment and facilities. None of them would be possible without the people working hard behind the scenes to make it possible.
I’m so excited for the current EBT. It’s going to be better and more expansive than the old tourist RR ever was.
this is incredible, thank you hyce! (and nick. and the guys at the EBT.)
This was one of your best videos! Thank you for making it.
Dang this is very well put together. It feels like an actual documentary you would see on tv. Great work 👍
Holy shit Hyce this is better than anything History Channel has done in 20 years. Bravo to you, Nick, and any other crew that helped! And to the EBT of course!
Hyce, if you made more videos like this I definitely wouldn't be mad man.
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 :)
Started volunteering at the EBT because of this. Never knew it existed.
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!
The ETB is a beautiful railroad. Thank you for making this amazing video for us.

@@psycotria The plans are to eventually go all the way to Robertsdale. One step at a time........

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
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.
I love the professional quality production of the video!
Hyce, thsi video is some incredibly high-quality stuff. One of the best produced videos on youtube dare I say.
wow what an intro, love to see some history on trains
