This review is from: Colorful East Broad Top (Paperback)

Nice album of color images put together by a well known rail photographer.I met the photographer once at a "Fall Festival" at the railroad. Those were wonderful times when the railroad had four locomotives in steam at the same time. Anyway Mallory Hope Farrell was nice enough to sign my copy. I purchased it at the railroad on a prior trip. Mr Kovalchick,(the owner of the railroad) also signed my copy. So the book has added meaning to me now!If you are a model builder you won't be sorry you made this purchase!Some of the images were made in the 1950's before the Railroad shut down and was reborn as a Tourist Railroad/Museum. Very interesting to see what the "Eastie" looked like in the "Common-Carrier" days.
