Delaware-Lackawanna's unique roster of Alco's is always worth a visit on a trip out east. DL 3642, which has the privilege of being the last C636 in existence, leads a four pack out of the Nay Aug Tunnel in Scranton, PA.
After seeing Steve Carlson's photo of DL&W RS11 1804 at East Stroudsburg yesterday, I had to go check and see if I had uploaded all my shots from the two times I've gotten the RS11 on the Pocono Main. Here we have PT-98 cresting the grade at Pocono Summit in a splash of sunlight on a trying afternoon, with 1804 leading 3642, 3000 and 211.
Having just picked up grain loads off the NS at Portland, PT-97 ducks under the old Lackawanna Cutoff viaduct on its way back north to home rails.
After meeting the PO-84 at Winton, PO-74 runs east past Elmhurst with the 3007 leading two of the road's 6 axle MLW products.
DL PO-84 was sent out ahead of the PO-74 to pick up empties from the grain mill at Pocono Summit, and is returning west for Scranton at Elmhurst, PA. They'll soon meet the PO-74 at Winton, which will then come east for Slateford.
Under a plume of smoke the DL PO-74 departs Scranton with the usual trio of 6 axle Alco/MLW products hauling a decent train for points east.
PO74 heads up into the poconos with 3 MLWs viewed from the Erie Jessup Branch. They would make a pick up at Winton shortly after passing here and continue east to the Delaware Water Gap
A couple swans swim around the shore of Pocono Summit Lake while the PO74 picks up grain at LAKE siding.

PT98 has just crested the summit of the former Lackawanna mainline at Pocono Summit. Like many of the communities along the DL main, the Pocono Summit depot still stands, though it looked unused during our fall 2016 visit.
