These are interesting photos for several different reasons, the steam engine
not being the least of them. First of all, they are two different trains.   Look
carefully at the first photo and you'll see the distinctive radiator overhang of
and SD7/9/18, I'm thinking an SD9.  The second photo shows a GP9 with a
Mars light.  Did the Lackawanna have that feature, or is there a different
history to this locomotive. 

Thanks for posting these shots, Ed.

Actually the GP-9 is an ex NKP unit painted in DL&W colors, Yes that is an SD-9 which once was a BN unit.
