No idea where anyone lives but some might be interested.
I might get there again.

I was there some years ago. Neat place. I wish I lived close enough to go again.

Yes it is.
Some years ago I road the open rear deck passenger car coupled to #90, what some called the baby Decapod.
Some miles North is another great place in Pa. Steamtown.

I've been there, too. It's about a 2 /12 hour ride around 130 miles from one to the other. No sense making the trip to one and not seeing the other.

Last time I was at Steamtown there was a tour of the Back shop. That was some tour. Heavy duty for steam and diesel overhaul. The guide watched us closely. That by far is the best part of the museum if anyone ever goes there. National Park if you have a pass and it is free.

I have the Access Pass which used to come in very handy and save me a lot of money.
