Album Info:A quick visit to Steamtown in Scranton, PA, gave us an unexpected surprise - 7 Alcos working the small yard to the side of the museum! What a delight to hear (and feel) the growling Alcos shuffling their small number of cars around in the yard. Actually, there were more power units than cars being shuffled!
