hello everyone,
Someone posted this youtube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE9OlnQJ ... video_user

of an abandoned amusement park in PA. After searching the web and looking around through Google Maps I arrived at Williams Grove Amusement Park being the location.

Does anyone know what is the history of the equipment or what has happened to the steam engine and other equipment on this abandoned park.

By the looks from Google satellite view there was some form of construction going on in the area.

Thank you

That is PRR 643. It still operates there even though the park is closed.

I found the information on #52. I guess they never ventured north to the home of the Vulcan engine.

"#52 was built by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes-Berry Pennsylvania in 1953."
