So far the photos I shot on September 29th, 2003 have to speak for themselves - along with the captions. I'll fill in more info and photos as time permits. But this is the place to be for the Alcophile in the eastern USA!

3642 (ex Delta Bulk Terminal, Stockton CA, and before that
Conrail/Penn Central) and 3643 are waiting on a Monday morning to be
fired up. Over the weekend the units were parked in the yard adjacent to
the Steamtown museum. A footbrigde connects the Steamtown Mall with the
Steamtown park and is excellent to shoot photos from. September 29th,
