Description Silas is one of 2 surviving East Broad Top standard gauge 0-6-0 switchers. In 2011, his 3 chime whistle was placed on Evan (EBT No. 15), and has become a fan favorite, in terms of whistles.

If only someone could by 3 and restore it.

That's a good idea. No. 3 hasn't operated in decades, and needs a second life.

Yeah, the poor thing has been at Mt. Union since 1956!

That really sucks. I hope that they can find her a proper home. With the EBT reopening soon, they won't be able to operate her, seeing as there's no standard gauge tracks in the area.
