Roots of the American Railroad | |||
A NRHS trip to Honesdale, PA., "The Birthplace of the American Railroad", was made. It was here the first steam locomotive to operate in North America, The "Stourbridge Lion", made its first run on August 8, 1829. A replica of the famous locomotive is housed in a museum along with a gravity passenger car used in that era. I visited the museum and also photographed the excursion train the "Stourbridge Line" led by EMD BL-2 #54 returning to Honesdale from its trip to Lackawaxen, PA. | |||
