I saw this photo last night, but I was a little baffled - where in
Scranton would this be? It almost looked like Hoboken or Jersey City at
first glance, but I just can't place that tall building in the
background...

Here's an article with an overhead view of the shredded 902...

The units were a runaway and plowed head-on into an MU, sadly killing
the engineer.
The location of this photo is almost directly beneath the South Salem
St. bridge in Dover.
