Activities
FEBT and its members are currently engaged in several activities. The most visible is restoration work on the East Broad Top Railroad (EBT), focused around the Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania and Robertsdale, Pennsylvania stations. FEBT volunteers and FEBT-paid contractors work to stabilize and restore historic parts of the EBT.
FEBT operates a developing museum in Robertsdale in the original EBT railroad station. The museum displays artifacts and memorabilia from the 150 years of EBT history. The museum is housed in the FEBT-owned original EBT Robertsdale station. FEBT also owns the adjacent Rockhill Iron and Coal Company Post Office, which is being restored to become larger permanent museum, at which time the station will be restored to its period interior.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
