Steamtown in Scranton, PA

We started the day in Scranton, PA, visiting one of its few tourist attractions—the Steamtown National Historic Site. The steam engine museum and exhibits are set up in restored buildings that formerly housed maintenance facilities at a rail road roundhouse, built in mid 19th century.


The steam engine would enter into the roundhouse, which would then be turned in order to align the rails properly such that the engine can be pushed into a specific spot in the facility.
