This is Steamtown's Deleware Water Gap Excursion on June 26th 2010. CN #3254 led the train to Moscow and the Reading Units were forced to take over due to weight limitations on a damaged bridge past Moscow. The Reading Units also returned the train back to Scranton.
@rwk360 I would have gotten off the trained and walked in protest after a diesel took over. If I want to rise diesel, I'll take Amtrack.

I was on this train! I didn't know it was going to be mostly diesel until I got there and heard some guy talking about it on the platform that the steam was only gong as far as Moscow because of some bridge accident. It sucked. I wanted steam all the way. I was in the first coach. It was my first time riding past Pocono Summit (I rode to there in Aug 1987 behind same steam locomotive). This year the DWG train is back, last year RR bridge out of service between E. STRSBG and DWG, but it's diesel!
