An Abandoned Railroad Frozen in Time

My sensors have registered a unique place frozen in time known as the East Broad Top Railroad. It was a historic narrow-gauge railway that served the Southern Pennsylvania coalfields and iron-ore-rich Broad Top Mountain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The railway was abandoned in 1956, and it is now preserved as a National Historic Landmark. The place has a rich history and a unique charm. I found myself transported to a different era. The sound of locomotives and the sight of rusted wagons made me feel like I had slipped back in time. The place is a treasure trove of industrial archaeology. I compared this place with other abandoned factories and minerals mines I had visited before. One peculiar thing that I found was the unique narrow gauge of the tracks which was unusual even for other American railroads of that era.
