Hey everyone,
On monday im going to be taking a day trip up to Scranton, primarily to buff the DL Alco's.
I hear that the Steamtown parking lot is a good place to start the day in the morning (8-9) as DL will be switching there. Now from there any suggestions as to where to go? I hear the shops are worth checking out. Directions would be helpful too.
Also, would there be any movements around the Delaware Water Gap and Pocono's area on monday?

Thanks alot

The D_L shops are located off of Breck Street which in turn is located off of Cedar Avenue in Scranton. There is a large sign for Demare Fresh produce near the road. If you leave Steamtown, make a right onto Lackawanna Avenue and take it to South Washington Street. Make a right, go under the DL&W Mainline, the Ammunition Plant will be on your left, the back entrance to Steamtown on your right. Continue down this road for several blocks until you need to make a left turn. Take this road two blocks to Cedar Avenue and make a right. Take Cedar Avenue for about 7-8 blocks and Breck Street will be on your right.

The guys in the D-L shop are very knowledgeble but are extremely busy. Parking is tight in the area as well, so be careful.
