National Historic Site

Working on the railroad was rarely romantic or glamorous. Mostly it was hard work—grimy, noisy, greasy, and occasionally dangerous. Today, mechanics still labor to repair and maintain steam locomotives and rolling stock at this site, with tools and methods virtually unchanged since the 1930s. The National Park Service has retained the industrial working character of this historic Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad yard to present to the Steamtown visitor a realistic portrayal of steam-era railroading. The park interprets not only this site, its locomotives, and rolling stock, but also the greater story of the people whose lives were irrevocably changed by the railroad—-and industry that steered the economic growth of the United States during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, dramatically transforming the American landscape.
