This fine program presents the history of the Steamtown National Historic Site located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Featuring completely restored steam locomotives and passenger equipment, Steamtown is one of the finest operating railroad museums in the United States.

Beginning with the railroad preservation efforts of Ellis D. Atwood in 1941, you?ll learn the fascinating story of Steamtown under the direction of Nelson Blount in New Hampshire and Vermont. The program also showcases many of the locomotives which performed there, including NKP 2-8-4 759, Rahway Valley 2-8-0 15, Canadian National 2-6-0 89, and four handsome Canadian Pacific 4-6-2's.

In 1984, Steamtown moved to Scranton, PA, and the program depicts the transformation of that site from a run-down railroad yard to a world-class museum and National Park Service historic site. The highlight of the program is a thrilling ride from Sranton to Moscow along the highly scenic ex-Lackawanna Main Line, featuring a cab ride on the handsome and powerful CP 4-6-2 2317, complete with great trackside scenes and our exclusive locomotive-mounted ChoochCam views! Thoroughly documented and beautifully photographed by Master Videographer Marc S. Balkin, this is the definitive Steamtown documentary, which was awarded a prestigious Telly Award of Excellence in 2002.
