Date: 08/31/14 08:26 Re: Steamtown Railfest today Author: wabash2800 Thanks for sharing Ed. Very nice. I wish I could have been there. Doesn't look like a big crowd.
Date: 08/31/14 08:55 Re: Steamtown Railfest today Author: LV95032 Not rumor - definitely out of service all summer. It has been repainted and is awaiting new deck and some mechanical repairs
One of the reasons this Railfest had less visiting equipment.

Date: 08/31/14 09:00 Re: Steamtown Railfest today Author: LV95032 Not covered in Ed's photos was one of the highlights which is CNJ 1554 pulling two authentic CNJ coaches on the shuttle train. A very nice looking train! The 1554 was borrowed from the DL for service this weekend only, so this is not usual fare at Steamtown.

Ed, great coverage. I didn't get there until 1pm or so and the parking lot was packed. Lots of families taking the train ride and the shop tour. CV the civil e from nj Date: 08/31/14 14:21 Re: Steamtown Railfest today Author: ns1000 GOOD stuff...!!! Thanks for sharing Ed.
