Steamtown National Historic Site has made it a tradition to run a special steam excursion in the dead of winter. This is a particularly rare occasion, seeing as most other tourist lines do not operate their steam locomotives during the winter months. Pulled by Canadian National #3254, you will see how the difference in elevation has affected the snow accumulation along the line - there is very little snow near Scranton, but there are several inches just a little farther up the line.
