SCRANTON, Pa. – Due to circumstances beyond our control, tomorrow’s (Saturday, October 12) railroad passenger excursion from Steamtown NHS to East Stroudsburg is cancelled. Guests who have previously made reservations for the trip will receive a full refund; please call 570-340-5204 so our staff may assist with getting you your refund.

The decision to cancel was difficult but necessary. We hope that the public will continue to enjoy future Steamtown National Historic Site’s railroad passenger excursions using heritage equipment.
