Train rides have officially returned to Steamtown National Historic Site for the 2022 season. Rail experiences vary from short 30-minute trips exploring the park’s historic railroad yard to full-day trips through the Poconos. Short train rides, the Scranton Limited and Caboose Experience, are offered Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The first excursion trip of the season will take place on Saturday to Jessup allowing visitors to experience the annual Saint Ubaldo Day “Running of the Saints” (La Corsa dei Ceri).

New for the 2022 season, all ticket sales will be credit card only. Visitors are now able to purchase advance tickets for summer excursions (May-August) online through recreation.gov or on-site at our Information Kiosk during regular business hours of 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tickets for short train rides, the Scranton Limited and Caboose Experience, are not available online or for advance purchase and must be purchased on-site at the Information Kiosk, the day of your visit. Those looking to plan for our autumn excursions will be able to purchase tickets starting July 15.

Specific event information can be found by visiting the event calendar on the park website anytime. Station information and ticket pricing can be found on recreation.gov by searching “Steamtown National Historic Site.”

The NPS has updated its masking guidance based on the CDC’s new COVID-19 Community Levels tool, which helps communities decide what prevention steps to take. Masking requirements in NPS buildings and on passenger coaches are based on local conditions. Updates are posted weekly, on Fridays, to www.nps.gov/stea.

Train rides are subject to cancellation due to mechanical issues, inclement weather, or crew availability.

Located in downtown Scranton, Steamtown NHS is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. General park information is available by phoning 570-340-5200.
