I lived just a block from the B&O yard, and round house.... my first 15 years. I remember it well, I remember the big fire they had there too. We had to pack up and get ready to be evacuated, but they got it under control. Not far from there was Carol Park, and mansion.

My grandfather worked here rebuilding old steam engines in the late 1940's & 1954

The B&Os first air conditioned car is under the roof of the 1931 section of the steamtown NHS round house up north in Scranton. It was damaged by vandals. Was attacked by moths. Them the roof which was wood due to it was a wood car covered in metal. Sagged causing interior destruction. The car is estimated to repair as low as 10 million. This makes it the most expensive piece to restore currently as 4 wooden cars far from saving collapsed and are being prepped to move off site to a poison control chemical dump.

What is the cars number?

Also at 3:43 to the right is a locomotive ive never seen before

[@paulmishler402]

3:43 there is a locomotive to the left that i have never seen at the museum, what is that locomotive and where is it ????

[@redferroequus]

I did some snooping, and found that it's a complete mockup of a steamer named "Campbell". Mostly consisting of wood, it was destroyed presumably beyond repair during the shed collapse. As for the engines on the right, that's the CNJ 1000 Diesel switcher, and towards it's right is a crab replica, possibly. I have no idea what happened to her.

[@KiIo-27]

Right

[@TBModels]
