Tri-State will be a featured guest at Steamtown's Railfest 2017. This weekend-long event celebrates railroading and the trades in all of its forms. This year's theme is the Steam-Diesel Transition. Expect diesel powered train excursions to Moscow, PA with Tri-State's F3 No. 663, steam engine No. 26 on the Scranton Limited, the Caboose Experience, and rail motor car trips in different segments of the yard.

Our No. 19 will be on site as the only featured visiting locomotive as well!

Food tents will be available on the Steamtown grounds. Steamtown will also provide transportation, along with COLTS to La Festa Italiana, located a few blocks away at Lackawanna County Courthouse Square.

The Locomotive Shop will be open during Railfest so you can see different types of machinery in use.
