Rockhill Repose
Probably the least-photographed of the 6 East Broad Top Mikes, #18 has not seen service and has very rarely moved from the roundhouse since 1956.
As time passes and the EBT's second repose becomes longer than it's first, it seems increasingly unlikely that anyone will wake these engines from their slumber while they remain at home. The railroad is for sale for somewhere around $10M, including the timber and coal lands, and would require an additional couple million to put back in tourist service to Colegate Grove (never mind extending it north or south).
Addendum, 14 Feb 2020: The 9 year slumber has come to an end. The East Broad Top is waking up once again...
