Viewing Album:  A Weekend Around Scranton Ft. NKP 765 & Much More!
 
By:Jacob Rink
Dates:9/5/2015 - 9/6/2015
Album Info:Went up to Scranton, PA, on the 5th & 6th of September for Steamtown's annual Railfest. Several unique engines were brought to display by different railroads, as well as some of steamtown's own engines, but the star of the show was NKP 2-8-4 765. After railfest, I happened to catch CP 258, and the following day, caught RBMN PIME and explored some of the various DL locomotives around.
