    12 Steamtown Sept. 6

    12 - Summer 2015 – Steamtown on September 6 – Segment 1 Nickel Plate 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive 765 was scheduled to pull a passenger excursion train from Steamtown in Scranton over the route of the "Phoebe Snow" to the Stroudsburg/Delaware Water Gap area on Labor Day weekend, with two trips, on the Saturday and the Monday. Marc Glucksman and I decided to visit the site and chase the train for photos on the day of the first trip, Saturday, September 6. Parts 12 and 13 feature slides of what we able to see in Steamtown itself, while part 14 will get to the chase. Called Railfest 2015, the National Historic Park planned a gala weekend, with its major attraction being the visit of the attractive 2-8-4 locomotive. Additional visiting equipment was also on hand, and this "celebration of railroading," with speeches and ceremonies, offered an excellent overview of the museum, including its plans for the future (particularly to acquire at least one operating steam locomotive), for railfans and the general public alike. Marc picked me up at about 7 in the morning and we encountered no traffic problems as we followed routes 80 and 380 to Scranton, but did get nervous when we came across some thick fog in the valleys along the way. Fortunately the sky cleared as we arrived and we had beautiful weather all day. With the steam train scheduled to leave at 10:30 a.m. we had over an hour to look at the exhibits. There was a long line at the ticket office, but we eventually were able to pay our $7.00 entrance fees and put on our wristbands.
