Scranton — After a bit of time at Bridge 60 and Steamtown, I drove to Archibald, PA and followed DL train SC7 back towards Scranton. Back in Scranton I went to the shops and photographed around there. Then I started my long drive to my friend Ginny and Laurence's in Woodbridge, CT. I went via the The Danbury Railway Museum in Danbury, CT. It was closed so I only grabbed a few shots through the fence there. Then I drove on to Woodbridge, CT, where I had dinner with, and stayed with, friends.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent.

Special Thanks

All the great folks who helped me out with information for these Web pages!
