CP #2317, built in 1923, is turned on the turntable at Steamtown NHS. A steam locomotive must be greased, oiled and inspected at least daily (sometimes more) and this and other light-duty work is done inside the Roundhouse. The turntable provides access to the individual Roundhouse service stalls.

Steamtown NHS occupies about 62 acres of the former Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. Currently, only a portion of the park is open for visitation.
Within this area, there are multiple opportunities for outdoor activities. There are tables and benches outside the museum complex, available seasonally, for picnic lunches or just relaxing. There are also historic steam and diesel locomotives as well as rolling stock for viewing.When you visit Steamtown NHS, please start at the Information Booth, as our online calendar can change on short notice!
