Christmas in Coal Country

Ring in the Holiday Retro-Style at the East Broad Top Railroad! Whether you worked around the clock in tough conditions to extract it from the earth or used it to cook and heat your home, life in Pennsylvania centered around coal. Historically, Christmas in Coal Country was a holiday in the most genuine sense of the word, as it was often one of the few days that mines were closed… allowing miners to pause and spend time with their families. We invite you to bundle up, gather your friends and family, and help us evoke that same sense of togetherness aboard a historic train and vintage trolley. This is an evening experience! The best time to see the railroad with decorations and lights is with our Christmas in Coal Country trains!
