Steamtown, USA
One of the most famous tourist lines in the United States
features the nation's largest array of steam locomotives: the famed
Steamtown Collection, in Scranton, Pennsylvania.Brainchild of the late
industrialist, F. Nelson Blount, Steamtown began as a small collection
of historical rail equipment tucked away in the rugged woods of Vermont.
The collection was moved to Scranton, where today, Steamtown is a
National Park. Steamtown operates both steam and diesel powered
excursions into the Pocono Mountains.This program features several
excursion runs using ex-Canadian Pacific 2317 and Canadian National 3254
as Lackawanna 2317 and 1271, plus Lackawanna painted diesels 514 and
880.You'll also enjoy a cab ride up the mountain, along with many of
Steamtown's static displays.
