| The Canadian National 3254 steam engine is a 2-8-2 model built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in 1917. The 2-8-2 refers to the type of wheel arrangement. This steam engine was built to pull heavy freight trains. It was retired in 1958 and eventually purchased by the Steamtown Foundation in 1987. It now operates as an excursion train taking passengers to Moscow and Tobyhanna in the Poconos. It is pictured here steaming past the downtown area of Scranton. |
This site is dedicated to creating and sharing a visual record that captures the distinctive character of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. The neighboring cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are often collectively referred to as EC/DC (as in Electric City/Diamond City). While historically known as the Electric City, Scranton is currently more famous for being home to a small but not insignificant branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
