Baldwin 26: The Scranton Switcher (and the Electric City Trolley Museum)

In the summer of 2024 I made two visits to Scranton, PA to at long last visit Steamtown NHS and the Electric City Trolley Museum. On both occasions Red Bird trolley 76 and Baldwin Locomotive Works 26 were running. During my first visit in June, the 26 was pulling the Nay Aug Limited from the museum to Nay Aug Gorge Park. On the day of my second visit in August, the 26 was charged with a much longer evening excursion to the Pioneer Nights Festival in Carbondale, PA which arrived back at Steamtown well after dark.

Beautiful Steam Train Ride. Baldwin Locomotive Works No. 26 is a cool little switcher steam locomotive operating at Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
