I walked to the fringes of Steamtown, in Scranton. Tucked behind a beat up wooden passenger car was this little girl.
Looks like it was cannibalized in the past and left to rust away.

I reckon if she was a Canadian shay she might be in better shape. Yes that is snark. Seems to me that Steamtown National Park favors CN equipment.

I read the history in the link above. The cab is missing after a building collapsed on it.

An engine looking for a top and a coach looking for a bottom (trucks). And if available, too expensive to acquire.
I remember the shay when we were at Steamtown, years back.
Thank you for sharing.
