Viewing Album:  Stored Steam Outside at Steamtown
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/10/2012 - 10/10/2012
Album Info:Besides the beautiful working CN 3254 and assorted displays inside Steamtown Museum, these 3 pieces can be found outside the museum. UP 4012 is a permanent static display with no hope of ever pounding the rails again while BSCX 1 and CN 47 might have a glimmer of hope possibly in the distant future. Regardless, they all make an interesting eclectic collection of steam!
