This vintage railroad ticket or ticket stub from the East Broad Top Railroad (E.B.T.) offers a glimpse into the history of this narrow gauge common carrier railroad in Pennsylvania. The ticket proclaims Fare for One in bold type above the stylized East Broad Top Railroad name, positioned over the smaller text, U.S. Route 522, Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania. The ticket's design evokes a bygone era with decorative fonts and flourishes framing the text and a central illustration of a steam locomotive. The ticketâs text recounts the E.B.T.'s story, starting from its incorporation in 1856, and notes its role in hauling iron ore and passengers between Mount Union and Woodvale, Pennsylvania. The ticket highlights the railroad's revival in 1956, thanks to the Kovalchick Salvage Company and Mr. Nick Kovalchick, along with the restoration of Engine Number 12. A ticket number, A 55685, is also visible. The off-white or beige paper shows some discoloration and wear consistent with its age. The verso of the ticket displays a repeating pattern of faded circular logos or watermarks, possibly suggesting a security feature common to official documents of the period. The faint text within these circles is illegible due to age and wear, but the overall design contributes to the ticketâs historical character. This piece of ephemera offers a tangible connection to the history of the East Broad Top Railroad, nestled in the broader context of Pennsylvania's industrial and transportation heritage, specifically within Huntingdon County and the surrounding central Pennsylvania region. This item is a unique piece of railroad history, appealing to collectors of railroad memorabilia, transportation ephemera, and Pennsylvania history artifacts.
