ACL 1901 |
| Description: |
Once a restoration project at Steamtown, but now looking a little lost out in the big yard, is this classic SW-1, built in 1939 by EMC. First tested on the Atlantic Coast Line, it was soon rejected and resold to the Richmond Terminal Railroad. Over the years, through its various owners, it slowly worked its way up the east coast of the United States, finally coming to Pennsylvania in the 1970s under ownership of the Towanda Monroeton Shippers Lifeline. |

RDG 902 |
| Description: |
RDG (Reading Railroad) EMD FP7A 902 and 903 on display at the entrance to Steamtown National Historic Site. The pair of diesel locomotives, lashed together in a classic push/pull configuration, have been stalwarts of Steamtown for many years. 902 was built by Electromotive Division (EMD) in May, 1950. 903 was completed in August, 1950. Both saw service on the Reading right up until Conrail days in 1974. After that, the units were acquired by SEPTA (SouthEast PA Transportation Authority) and renumbered 4372 and 4373. They remained in service with SEPTA until 1981. The units were acquired by local railroad historic groups and used on occasional excursion service. In 2010 both units were loaned to Steamtown for a year to maintain the locomotives in exchange for excursion rights. As of 2018 the units are inactive. |

The Turntable at Steamtown USA |
| Description: |
All is quiet on the turntable at Steamtown…but not for long. Shortly after this pic, we watched NKP GP9 #514 haul Lehigh Valley Coach 353 off the turntable - after a tiny blue switcher shuffled the coach out of the roundhouse into position for 514 to move in and couple up. |
