While Saturday was damp and overcast, Sunday was warm and sunny as Chris, assisted by FEBT members Patrician J. Downs and Vagel C. Keller, provided a guided driving and walking tour of the tunnels and bridges from Robertsdale to Mount Union. More information about the 2001 Early Bird Exploration will appear in an upcoming issue of The Timber Transfer. According to EBT general manager Stanley Hall, the operations of the East Broad Top Railroad this year will follow the schedule established in recent years. Trains will run on Saturdays and Sundays only, starting on June 2 and continuing through October 28. There are no changes in the cost of tickets.
Additional payment is required for seats in the caboose or business car.
At this time two special events appear on the EBT's 2001 calendar. And on October 6 and 7 the East Broad Top Railroad will hold its 2001 Fall Spectacular.
