Freshly repainted Erie Lackawanna Alco C425 2461 and Lackawanna EMC SC 426 were on display at "Steamtown" under grey overcast skies.
It is amazing to see such fantastic restorations of these old locomotives.

DL 3602 with the PO74 crew heads east by the Lackawanna station down toward Nay Aug to grab their train. They'll head to Gravel Place today.

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.

After a three year hiatus, it was time for another visit to the DL, everyone's favorite place for ALCO/MLW action. DL 3602 would be the star of the show for over half the day, leading the PO74 to Gravel Place. DL 3602 is one of a few former Cartier M636s acquired from the WNYP. Built for CN in 1970 by MLW.
Seen in Nay Aug Park, Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Many were the times I wanted Kodachrome to do things that it didn't want to do.
Then there were the times I did what Kodachrome wanted to do such as this morning sun shot. Definitely, we were in a love/hate relationship.
I was getting ready for a day of fun with one of the USA's great 4-8-4's running and do so on a mainline railroad, the Lackawanna.

At about 8:30 am the crew showed up in DL 2457 from the Von Storch Shops. They parked this unit and got on the set of four 6-axle units. 2457 was built in 1964 for SP&S.

Back in Scranton, the two ALCOs from the morning trip are on the branch used by the trolley.
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.

A classic D&H brick freight station in Scranton (at Wyoming at Gibson) and team track was still served by rail during my 10-9-05 visit. Looking on Google Earth, it appears to all still be there today,
9/2018 - Scranton, PA
Train PO74 is pulling out of the yard. The BR1 crew is pushing on the rear to help them up the steepest part of the grade.
The next morning in Scranton we awoke to filtered sun and rain showers in the area but that didn't stop us from shooting PT-98. The entire train fit down at Bridge 60 so we had to choose between this shot and the one a few blocks east which shows the old depot and downtown in the background.
I sort of like this one from the pedestrian crosswalk platform at the west end of the old depot.
