The Scranton Limited rides began operating for the 2012 season on April 28, departing at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., and 1:30 and 2:15 p.m. on Wednesdays thru Sundays. For the monthly schedule, visit our Guided Tours page.

The Scranton Limited Short Train Excursion gives visitors a chance to experience riding in an historic commuter car (the cars were built between 1915 and 1935) behind either a vintage steam locomotive or an historic diesel-electric locomotive. The trip gives a good overall view of the railroad yards. Due to ongoing work in the railroad yard, different routes may be used. 

In addition to the daily Park Entrance Fee, a fee of $5.00 per person is required for the Scranton Limited Short Train Ride.

Did You Know?
Railroads are built with as few hills and curves as possible. If a railroad cannot go over or around a hill, a tunnel is constructed through the hill. Some of Steamtown National Historic Site's train rides travel through the Nay Aug Tunnel in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
