Ridge Row Switching

Delaware-Lackawanna Job PO-74 switches out the cars they picked up earlier from NS as DL3 to assemble the train they would be taking up the Poconos. This task ended up taking way longer than it should have because they apparently were asked by the secret service to clear out the yard of any freight cars as a "security measure" in anticipation of Sleepy Uncle Amtrak Joe's visit to Steamtown the next day.

 

Side note: the prominent building in the background, which now serves as a Radisson Hotel, was the passenger station for the Lackawanna Railroad in Scranton. 10-19-21
