A wonderful article with a bit more context and depth about Kfoury’s Steamtown study and analysis.
Join us at Steamtown for Springfest! Event highlights include Big Boy 4012 Cab tours (get your cab tour before 4014 comes to town to really get a sense of what it’s like in the cab of a Big Boy), locomotive back shop tours, a special ground floor tour of the Roundhouse areas, Scranton Limited train rides, and the unveiling of a special 250th Anniversary semiquincentennial caboose!
Baldwin 26 has had its boiler patch finished and tested over the off season. It will be FRA certified and the 26 will be back together in time. Photos have been circulating on the Steamtown Forum Facebook group for those interested.
