Andy's Angles: Lehigh, Delaware-Lackawanna Day

 

There is working track adjacent to the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, and Lehigh Valley, Delaware-lackawanna locomotives dominate that section of track.  I photographed a few during a visit last month.

The look is distinctive-- grey, yellow, and red.  It works.  You instantly recognize "Lehigh" and "Delaware-Lackawanna" when you spot one.

Some were idling.  Others were in motion.  The one you see above had cars of lumber behind as it moved from north to south.

Here, you come for the steam, and the diesel is a major bonus.
