DL 3642 went down to the branch to the DL locomotive shop to grab a large high-capacity flatcar and caboose.
B&O caboose at Scranton Pa. on 07-22-1973. I did not see it arrive but most likely came in on or is going out on the joint EL/CNJ pool trains SE98/ES99 (running between Elizabethport NJ and Scranton Pa.) Howard Kent Jr.

Radiator profile of a big ugly MLW/ALCO unit. Don't get me wrong, I love these units and am thankful I got to chase its sister units on the WNYP.
Upon this decrepit staircase, the very essence of neglect seems to manifest, each step a testament to the decay wrought by the inexorable passage of time. The railing, a serpent of iron, rusted and adorned with the sickly yellow patina of corrosion, writhes upward like some grotesque vine clinging to the remnants of a long-dead civilization.
The stairs descend into the gloom, each one an altar to obsolescence, coated in the detritus of a bygone epoch. The fractured tiles below speak of a mosaic of madness, a pattern that could suggest a sinister design to any who dare look too closely.
Light filters through the grime-streaked windows, casting a pallid glow that seems almost otherworldly in its reluctance to disturb the enshrouding darkness. This is a place where the air is thick with the ghosts of despair, and one feels the oppressive weight of ancient eyes that might still watch from the unseen corners, their gaze as cold and unyielding as the steel underfoot.
A classic brick D&H freight station in Scranton (at Wyoming at Gibson) was still served by rail during my 10-9-05 visit.

On the way to the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington, I made an early morning stop in Scranton to check out the new Von Storch Shops of the DL. I got this roster shot of RRPX 41. This unit was built by MLW in 1970 for CN but still wears its Cartier paint. It came to the DL from the WNYP but also worked on the NYSW. This unit will supposedly become DL 3641 eventually.

The Lackawanna Coal Mine is a museum and retired coal mine located in McDade Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Visitors board a mine car and descend the #190 slope into the Clark Vein of coal. At the foot of the shaft the visitors begin an hour-long guided tour through the main gangway of the mine and stop at various points to discuss different aspects of the anthracite mining industry. Visitors then leave the Clark Vein via a rock tunnel and stop in the Dunmore #1 Vein. Once in the Dunmore #1, transportation and mining in a fault room are discussed. As the tour continues down the rock tunnel the group stops at the peg shanty to meet the fire boss and discuss his role in mining operations. The tour then continues on to the Dunmore #2 Vein and discusses working in small veins of coal, air doors and their role in ventilation, door boys or nippers, second means of exit from the mine and company store. The tour concludes where the miners ended their final days within the mine in November 1966.
The tour is open seven days a week from April 1 to November 30 and is closed only on Thanksgiving Day. Temperatures within the mine are around a constant of 50–54 °F (10–12 °C).
Adjacent to the mine tour is the Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum with exhibits on Northeastern Pennsylvania's mining and industrial history. The address of the mine is at Bald Mountain Rd, Scranton, PA 18504.
