F3 to Pull Steamtown Excursion

July 13, 2018

The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society is planning to offer an excursion in early September using an A-B-A set of EMD F3s during its 2018 convention.

The convention is Sept. 8-9 and the excursion will operate on Sept. 8 from Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.

The locomotives are 70 years old and owned by the Anthracite society and Tri-State Railway Historical Society.

Photo stops are planned along with a tour of the locomotives on Sept. 9.

The excursion, which is open to members and non-members of the Society, is subject to change depending on the mechanical status of the locomotives. More information is available at the group’s website
