The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western caboose #889 is part of the park's historical collection and is also used for some programs, such as the Caboose Experience train ride.

Steamtown's collection of steam locomotives, diesel-electric locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and maintenance-of-way equipment is almost all on display (though it has not all been restored). Here, you may find information about the historic pieces in the Steamtown collection. (Most of the information is in Adobe .pdf format)

Did You Know?
Roundhouses were essential to steam railroading. Most steam locomotives required servicing about 150 to 200 miles when they were new. Find out more about what goes on in the Roundhouse at Steamtown National Historic Site.
