Legacy of the DL&W

This film is based on an excursion during the 2010 NRHS meet in Scranton PA. It ran to the Delaware Water Gap and back on the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad main and featured triple-headed Alco RS-3s and steam! Numerous runbys.

    I own the headlight off of steam engine #1116 from the port Morris New Jersey yard. The 462 Erie Lackawanna passenger train was built in 1922 and retired in 1953. Russell Lawrence of Port Morris was the engineer and the train was his favorite and he kept the headlight when the train was retired. I'm always looking for pictures or a video of this train.

    @@SantaFeAllTheWay admittedly, no I didn’t. Steamtown used to be a destination. They had the 2317, 3254, and 26 operating. Now, only the 26 is operating. I’ve been waiting for the B&M 3713 to operate since 1999, and nothing. I was on the excursion nobody talked about. Riding behind the 3254 to Delaware Water Gap, the train stopped at cresco for a boxed lunch. When the 2317 came around the curve and slammed into the rear of the 3254’s stopped train. Myself and my kids were thrown around. My hand was busted up pretty good, kids were fine. Since then Steamtown offered me free tickets on any and every excursion indefinitely. Their lack of steam has caused me not to go on any excursion for years. The last one was the ice train to Tobyhanna several years ago.
