ride along once again with engineer Geo Sprague as he prepares Lackawanna engine #1637 for a run to Scranton PA. 1637 is a 4-8-4 Pocono (Northern) "Superpower" Q4 Steamer with 74" drivers and 72,000 lbs tractive effort built by ALCO. Video ends as 1637 crosses Nicholson bridge. Converted from 16mm silent film
My grandparents live up in the Pocono's. All that's there is Canadian steam engines and Delaware-Lackawanna alco's. A small shortline going from Scranton to the delaware water gap. Area has tons of history!

Thank you for these wondefull shots. I always travel through the pocons and I can't help but notice some glimps of old Lackawana rail here and there.
