GVT Rail System and the Delaware-Lackawanna RR will be providing a public viewing area for the triumphant arrival of ALCO PA Nickel Plate 190 tomorrow evening.
Arrival is scheduled for approximately 5:30PM, and the viewing area will be on the north side of the tracks just to the southwest of the bus station. The best and most available parking would be at the Steamtown Mall garage.
With this, we ask that everyone is respectful of railroad property in advance of, during, and after the event. We thank you for that.

Saw visual proof online that 190 is sitting in the ex DL&W/EL/CR/D&H/CP now NS Taylor yard in the Scranton area this morning.

Looks like it is set up to MU/ lead already.

At Steamtown last weekend (posted to "Liberty Railfan" facebook page, not sure who the photo credit goes to), click to expand:

PMC - Thanks for posting the progress and completion of this journey.

You're welcome. It was interesting for many reasons, including that it was able to move 3,000 miles and spend nights in several yards apparently without being damaged.

I love the PA's as much as anyone and glad she's stored inside and reasonably protected.
But calling it "Steamtown"? Just plain sad.

"It was interesting for many reasons, including that it was able to move 3,000 miles and spend nights in several yards apparently without being damaged."

There was an experienced escort following the entire move by automobile. While expensive, that is a good move if it can be done. This no doubt contributed to the lack of damage to the PA en route.

Every railfan knows that an Alco, whether with 244 or 251 power, is an 'honorary steam locomotive'...

Absolutely. I've been such an escort.

As further evidence of the above, I was once assigned to cover four cars going from Chicago to south Florida. They left Chicago clean. The railroad (CSX) hustled them so fast that the first escort out of Chicago gave up, assuming I'd catch up with them in southern Indiana or Kentucky. But CSX kept the cut hustling so fast that even with a course correction in mid-Ohio I couldn't catch up with them until Waycross, Georgia--and two of the cars had sustained full-height graffiti in the meantime, IN SPITE of that nearly-nonstop movement! Then, ironically, we sat for four days straight in Baldwin, Florida..........
