While staying with Glen and Tanna, Harold wanted to visit Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, PA. Steamtown is home to the Union Pacific Big Boy 4012. Since his dad was a hostler on a Big Boy in Cheyenne, Harold has always had a special interest in the Big Boys.
Steamtown has a roundhouse and a turntable and quite a few locomotives. They offer a 20 minute ride on a steam train for a few extra dollars. I was impressed with how well the roundhouse and the turntable had been restored and maintained. A number of volunteers work very hard and their love of railroading shows.
Love this post! And that quote, wow, different times I guess. Hope ya'll are doing well. :-) -Matt O
