Cooperstown Part two - Steamtown NHS

KW, time to hit the road.  OH brother, more driving, that is soooooo boring.  Just get in the Jeep.  OK, but I'm ridding up front and taking boring pictures to post on the blog.


Hey tour guide, look at that truck, the rear door is opening up.  Oh man, maybe someone is going to jump out like in the movies.  Hey,  maybe this is a movie and I'm in it.  KW, just take more boring pictures.


WOW KW, you called me up here to watch you take boring pictures.  Can I go back to my seat now?  KW, you really are a goober.


Hey Mrs. tour guide, it's an Italian tomato truck.


Oh wow, that's 'Prime Times truck".  KW, what are you talking about.  Well look, it says Dion on the back.


Hey tour guide, look we are coming into PA.  Give me the phone.  No, that's ok, i'll take it.  KW, stop trying to take the phone out of my hand.  Now look, we missed half the welcome sign.

Steamtown NHS:
Steamtown National Historic Site is a railroad museum and heritage railroad located in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, at the site of the former  Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad (DL&W).  The museum is built around a working turntable and a roundhouse that are largely replications of the original DL&W facilities: the roundhouse, for example, was reconstructed form remnants of a 1932 structure.  The site also features several original outbuildings dated between 1899 and 1902.  All the buildings on the site are listed with the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Yard-Dickson Manufacturing CO. Site.
