Steamtown on the move |
| Description: |
When Steamtown was moved to Scranton from Vermont, the equipment was handled in several trains. Some of the smaller pieces were loaded on flatcars, such as here, an industrial engine on its way toward Binghamton. |

Hot time in the old town |
| Description: |
The shot is kinda nuked, but I like the effect. When the Steamtown trains ran on the ex DLW to Kinglsey, the station area came alive with a lot more activity than youd expect for the size of the town. Several hundred riders were met by a crew of volunteers who opened the station, selling refreshments and souvenirs. It was quite a party. In this shot, we see 4-6-2 2317 along with a big crowd. |

Big crowd |
| Description: |
Steamtown ran excursions on the ex DLW for several summers in the 1990s, and they were popular. This was due to two engines available, and the route. The DLW Cut Off toward Binghamton had the attractions of Factoryville tunnel, Martins Creek Viaduct, and the prize of Nicholson Bridge, the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world, that year marking its 75th anniversary. The crowd here on the second week of operation on the Cut Off watches as the crew goes through the paces of changing ends. |

CN on Tunkhannock |
| Description: |
Steamtown occasionally had a problem with its regular steam power, so they restored CN 3254 to serve as their main engine while CP 2317 was getting an overhaul. In 1990, they made an arrangement with Walter Rich to run the ex DLW to Kingsley Pa, about 30 miles north of Scranton. The route would take the trips not only over the massive Tunkhannock Viaduct, but also over its smaller sibling, Martins Creek Viaduct, and through Factoryville Tunnel as a bonus. This is one of the first trains to run to Kingsley, the eight car train dwarfed by the massive structure. |

View from town |
| Description: |
Its hard to get a shot of a train on the Nicholson bridge from a close angle due to its height at sheer size. This look, taken from the Pump & Pantry on US 11 shows the bridge pretty well, but its hard to see the train, just starting after a short stop on the bridge to let riders take in the view of Tunkhannock Creek and surrounding areas. |

No, not that way!! CN 3254 couples to the south end of the Steamtown train as several riders watch the action. The coach, interestingly, is original DLW, one of the Boonton cars that lasted into the 70's in New Jersey commuter service. |

Staking a claim |
| Description: |
The D&H was now the operator of the DLW line from Binghamton to Scranton. Since they were running the Steamtown trains, they wanted to make their image one the public would associate with that pleasant experience. Thus we have this D&H herald above the door to the restored DLW station at Kingsley. |

Tiptoe thru the hoses |
| Description: |
CN 3254 rolls through Cayuga at restricted speed. A closer look at the track shows why. A pair of hoses are across track 1, and under track 2, where the 3254 is passing. At far left, the reason: a tipped over covered hopper is being relieved of its load of plastic pellets, which are being pneumatically pumped into the bulk trailer at right. |

The trips on the DLW cut off were popular, not only for riders, but with locals as well, many coming out to see the trains. |

Once the train got over the top at Clarks Summit, it would take off as the DLW engineering folks envisioned when they built the line in 1912. The trees have cut down the view some, but we still have a good looking train rolling north at Hop Bottom. The station, standing but in disrepair, is behind me. |

Rare and obxcure |
| Description: |
The Adirondack RR had an RSC 2 that had originally been built for Florida Power and Light. Amid the turmoil of that operations last days, it wound up getting moved out of Thendara, ultimately winding up on display at Utica. It also barnstormed a bit-dead in tow, it hadnt run in years-and was part of this years Steamtown Railfan Weekend. It is coupled to an equally interesting unit, Al Luetke's Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley U30B 901, painted and numbered as if it was part of the NYO&W's fleet. It was an attractive unit. |

Diesels too |
| Description: |
Steamtown had a good roster of diesels from the late steam era-sometimes there were more of them running than steam power. We see two from that period, DLW 637, an F 7, and DLW 514, a GP 7, along with D&H 7312. The D&H unit would not come along til the 70s, but the colors date to the early 60s. The 514 was something of a chameleon. It also wore the colors of NKP, same number, while it was at Steamtown. |

Sleeping giant |
| Description: |
NKP 759 rests outside the shop at Steamtown. Scranton is familiar territory to this NKP Berk. As an excursion engine in the 1970s, it came through here several times on the EL. |

Arriving at the DLW station |
| Description: |
One of the benefits of running Steamtown trains on the ex DLW was that the station at Kingsley needed minimal structural work to get it in shape-the DLW built everything on the cutoff for the ages. One of the weekend excursions from Scranton arrives at Kingsley on a September weekend. Sadly, the DLW didnt build for the vandals, and several years after the trains stopped coming here, the building had been so badly damaged it had to be torn down. |

A few locals who came down to watch the train take photos as the folks working the concession tables get ready for the barrage of riders that will shortly crowd their area. |

Peaceful view |
| Description: |
The view from the cemetery is serene as the Steamtown train crosses the Nichoslon Viaduct, the bridge dwarfing the eight car train. |

Even with a tele, its a big bridge |
| Description: |
The Steamtown train to Kingsley rides across Tunkhannock Viaduct as seen from the cemetery on the west side of Nicholson. Even from a distance, its huge. The heritage is unquestioned, as can be seen by the name of the former owner still proudly mounted on one of the arches. |

Backward running |
| Description: |
The train had no place to turn the engine at Kingsley, so the return to Scranton was done in reverse. Its not the most photogenic look for a steam engine, and most photographers shot the northbound trip, and bagged the return. I caught 2317 rolling past the siding at Hop Bottom on the way back to Scranton this day. |

The Steamtown train returning to Scranton tender first takes the siding at Hop Bottom(CPF 648), where it will meet 555, which will have an NS C39-8 leading. |
