While waiting for the #4014 to pass, we were entertained by the pass-by of this track maintenance equipment. The level of technology used by the railways is quite remarkable. This is a Harsco machine, self-propelled by a diesel engine. If you watch the video, you will hear the automobile-like horn as it passes the crossing. Image processed with GIMP.

We could view the work areas in the roundhouse at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania, but mostly from above on a catwalk. Below, there were areas of active restoration for historic locomotives and rolling stock. This work table stuck out, since it was crowded with tools, especially BIG ones for working on these large locomotives. Image processed with GIMP.
