Steamtown Equipment at Tobyhanna, PA

Photographs taken in the fall of 2000 from a public road on the south side of the Tobyhanna Army Depot.

Here are a few pictures of the Steamtown owned equipment stored at Tobyhanna.  Steamtown is currently in the process of disposing of these pieces.  The Equipment is parked in several rows, only the south row is visible from the public road.  The equipment at Tobyhanna consists of: 2 steam locomotives, CP 4-4-2 2929 and CN 4-6-2 5288, two EMD F Units, a dozen or so DL&W, Long Island and CNJ commuter coaches, several wooden combine cars, 2 wooden box cars, a few wooden cabooses, a Rutland Pile Driver and the remians of a log loader.

There are two steam locomotives at Tobyhanna.  CP 4-4-4 2929 is hidden behind some passenger cars while CN 4-6-2 5288 is partially visible here.

There are two F units also, this one is actually an ex Milwaukee Road unit, the other (not visible) is an ex KCS unit.

Much of the equipment at the Tobyhanna Army Depot consists of ex DL&W and CNJ commuter cars seen here.  Some of the more interesting equipment (a steam engine, and the wooden cars) is hidden behind these cars.
