Behind the scenes we do more than just passenger trains!🚂💨The Everett Railroad is hard at work keeping local industry moving across the region. From agricultural products and steel to forest products, fertilizers, minerals, and chemicals, our freight operations help connect the local economy to the national rail network. Powered by our fleet of diesel locomotives, and occasionally even our steam engine, there’s always something rolling down our rails.

On a return trip from visiting friends at the Gettysburg Railway, Alan and Hannah made a stop at the original Everett Railroad station in Everett, PA. This location once sat along a busy rail corridor that connected small towns to a much larger world through the Huntingdon & Broad Top Mountain Railroad system. For decades, trains carried passengers, freight, and opportunity through the region, shaping daily life and supporting local industry.

Like many historic rail lines across Pennsylvania, service eventually shifted. By the early 1980s, operations in this area had come to a close.

The story did not end there.

In 1984, Alan Maples relocated and re-established the Everett Railroad in Blair County, centered in Duncansville and Hollidaysburg. From those early efforts to rebuild, the railroad grew again, reaching into Morrisons Cove and surrounding communities. Passenger excursions began Hollidaysburg in 2015, opening a new chapter that continues today for families, visitors, and rail enthusiasts alike.

The original station in Everett and the current day operating passenger station in Hollidaysburg, now reflect the full journey. Restored and reimagined, while connected by a shared legacy.

Photos of the original station in Everett, then and now... The story continues.
