Several years ago, a good friend of mine, Tony Pann, who passed away in 2007, grabbed these photos of Baldwin no. 26 with passenger cars at that same platform.
I believe this might have been one of the first times running on this line, which once serve the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley freight station, but was replaced to serve this platform in 1991. The normal orientation for Baldwin no. 26 at that time was facing East, since the platform was measured and built for the coach only. Sometimes, in later years, we took three coaches along.
Off in the distances stood Union Pacific Big Boy no. 4012. This was moved into the Steamtown yard from a display space at the station on April 19, 1993, so this photo was either 1991 or 1992.
