Re: (erielack) Scranton roundhouse and turntable

[Pat_McKnight_@_nps.gov]

According to the information I have.  The E-L did some work on the
turntable in 1967, but sometime around 1970, the table was removed and the
Roundhouse was pretty much abandonned.  By the time Conrail got here there
wasn't much to do anything to in regards to this structure.

Is there any picture of the F-units in the Scranton roundhouse?

I thought the turntable and roundhouse sat pretty much in neglect during
the Conrail years.  Does anyone know the last it was used by EL before
Steamtown rebuilt it?
