Debating taking my son to see the train Wednesday. As per the CP website, its scheduled to arrive at Steamtown at 545pm. I would like to see the arrival. Was wondering what time is good to arrive at Steamtown. And I'm coming from NYC. I saw the train last year in Binghampton NY so I know its worth the drive.
After a quick view on the Canadian Pacific website, I see that the arrival in Scranton is scheduled for noon. The musical performance is scheduled for 5:45. It will most likely head north out of town around 6:45.
My advice is to get to Steamtown as early as you possibly can. The crowds have been very thick for the past few years even though they were in Scranton on Saturdays. Since many people have made it a family tradition, I can see a lot of people leaving work early to get the family there in time. Good luck!
