Visiting Equipment |

|
From time to time Steamtown will host a guest locomotive, car or even a whole train. Most equipment only visits for a few days or weeks, however some pieces of equipment like Reading and Northern 425 or Milwaukee Road 261 have made extended visits to Scranton. |
|
|
|
For the Grand Opening, the Reading and Northern sent engine 425 to Scranton, where it would operate on and off for two years. For more photos of the 425 in Scranton, click here. |

|
The Steamtown Grand Opening of 1995 was a summer long celebration that yielded a variety of visiting equipment. Here Milwaukee Road 261 backs out of the Roundhouse. |

For "Railexpo" in 1999, the John Bull replica from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania operated in the Steamtown Yard. |
|
In 1996, former Pennsylvania RR 1361 was sent to Scranton for a complete rebuild which is not yet complete. Here the K4 has just arrived and is seen outside the Steamtown shop. |

On several occasions two DL&W liveried E8 locomotives from the Central New York Chapter of the NRHS have visited Steamtown. This perfect DL&W image dates from 1998. |

Here an E8-led excursion passes Myrtle Street with the photographer's 1956 Buick in the foreground. This throw-back image is also from the 1998 visit. |
