What steam is currently operating in eastern PA? It seems very slim. Most of the tourist RR's are using diesel this year. New Hope's 40 is still out of service, and so is Reading and Northern's 425. WK&S isn't running any steam, either, and Bel Del in Phillipsburg, NJ is using diesel until 142 comes back late August. What is running this month, other than Strasburg?

About the only other steam running in eastern PA at this time is at Steamtown. There's also CNJ 0-6-0 113 in Minersville that has undergone static testing but not sure if it will actually be moving under its's own power any time soon.

He asked what was running other than Strasburg. Obviously they have lots of steam, including Thomas the Tank Engine in September if you're so inclined.
