This fine program presents the history of the Steamtown National Historic Site located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Featuring completely restored steam locomotives and passenger equipment, Steamtown is one of the finest operating railroad museums in the United States.
Beginning with the railroad preservation efforts of Ellis D. Atwood in 1941, you'll learn the fascinating story of Steamtown under the direction of Nelson Blount in New Hampshire and Vermont. The program also showcases many of the locomotives which performed there, including NKP 2-8-4 759, Rahway Valley 2-8-0 15, Canadian National 2-6-0 89, and four handsome Canadian Pacific 4-6-2's.
In 1984, Steamtown moved to Scranton, PA, and the program depicts the transformation of the old Lackawanna railroad yards from a run-down eyesore to a world-class museum and National Park Service historic site. You'll thrill to the dramatic controlled explosion of old city buildings in preparation for the construction of the new M |
