The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western caboose #889 is part of the park's historical collection and is also used for some programs, such as the Caboose Experience train ride.
Steamtown's collection of steam locomotives, diesel-electric locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and maintenance-of-way equipment is almost all on display (though it has not all been restored). Here, you may find information about the historic pieces in the Steamtown collection. (Most of the information is in Adobe .pdf format)

A large hard-working steam locomotive can use up to 6 tons of coal in about an hour. This means a fireman (the one who shovels the coal) might shovel 200 pounds of coal a minute. This is why railroads invented automatic stokers. Learn more about railroad jobs at Steamtown NHS in Scranton, PA.
