Two of Steamtown's mechanics prepare to reshape a locomotive wheel on a wheel lathe. The sledge hammer is used for fine adjustment of the cleat which holds the wheels in place.

Join a Park Ranger or a Volunteer on a 45-minute look at what it takes to maintain and repair steam locomotives. This walk through this historic Locomotive Shop of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad allows all to see the huge behind-the-scenes system which helped every railroad run smoothly.
