Miss it back home. Is that sign still on the upper floor of the Steamtown Mall? Heard they moved it (again).

Forty years a national park site, and Blount's gamble still pays off — a collection one man assembled, saved from the scrap line, now teaching new generations what mainline steam sounded and smelled like. Happy 40th to Steamtown.

Happy 40th, Steamtown! On this day in 1986, Congress voted to turn Steamtown — a collection of locomotives assembled by entrepreneur F. Nelson Blount — into a National Park Service site. Nine years later, John Gruber captured this image during the site's "grand opening." Gruber-10-185b-0206.

A sneak peek at yesterday's Halloween wedding couple. #Steampunk at Steamtown, PA. Could it get any more fitting? Even the locomotive engineer gave us some extra steam! Let's see if I can blog about this one.

Avondale Colliery in Luzerne County killed 110 men and boys. It remains the deadliest mine disaster in the history of Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal fields.
This photograph from the collections of Steamtown National Historic Site rewards a closer look. Laborers at

Keyboard foamers: “There should be zero diesels at Steamtown! It doesn’t live up to its name if there are diesels there!”
Me: “Haha D-L ALCO’s go brrrrr”

"THERE SHOULD BE 0 DIESELS AT STEAMTOWN" yeah kind of hard to do that when your nextdoor neighbor is a Class 3 regional.

Half the joy of going to Steamtown is seeing the Delaware Lackawanna up to its usual mildly insane shenanigans.

No 663 is owned by the Tri-State Chapter of the NRHS while 664 and the B-Unit belong to the Anthracite Roads Historical Society. If Steamtown owned them they would have to be in Bangor & Aroostook livery.

Steamtown watching as I enter the grounds to steal ONE (1) F unit and 3254:

The funny thing is Steamtown is allowed to have any equipment from up to 1960. None of the diesels pictured here belong to them and of the three they have only one runs.

The Hudson Tender at Steamtown is being restored!

Trip update: We decided to not go to Steamtown and instead spend the whole day on the Bel-Del with NYS&W 142. Better option than having to rush around all day to get to both places.

Nice, been meaning to go to Pennsylvania and see some of the many steam locomotives there, preferably steamtown & strasburg as they have a nice mix of Canadian and States steam power.
