It was a blistering hot afternoon when we exited the Steamtown Mall on the elevated footbridge that offers views of the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western shops and yards that are now part of the Steamtown complex at Scranton, Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below us was a selection of Central Railroad of New Jersey passenger cars, DL&W multiple units, various cabooses and sad looking freight cars, plus a Reading Company RS-3, some F3s masquerading as a set of Lackawanna units, a few old steam locomotives, and a Leslie rotary plow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was making studies of the museum’s antiques, we heard the unmistakable chortling sound of an Alco 244 diesel . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
