I chased the Sunday trip, I think there were 181 on board including crew. Chased to get video in case it never runs again, you never know with Steamtown.

I have to comment, seems Steamtown is getting ridiculous with the safety thing, two Steamtown personal walking in front of 514 with red flags out of Steamtown on the Strawberry, as well as comming into Carbondale, 514 was doing about 4mph!

Seems to me this was done back in the 1830's with the Stephenson Rocket!

Less than a century later, the NYC was required to employ cowboys in front of the trains on New York City's 10th Ave.
Steamtown also has strict flagging rules for the Scranton trolley operation!
