Looking at a mine cart, transfer station, and shaft at the Lansford No. 9 coal mine. This shaft (center back) extended up and down hundreds of feet, but is flooded in the present day. A transfer station (left) is a machine used to shift and rotate coal cars across different tracks when there is not enough room to use normal tracks and junctions. A small mine office is visible to the right.
A single bench is illuminated in the coal tunnel.
That moment when you first step out...

A photo of the Scranton Lace Factory's famous basketball court from up top in the seating area. This basketball court was built for employee recreation, and has sadly since been demolished as part of the Laceworks Village project.
At the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, DC, a Cardinal sits in a nearby tree. Funny enough, my best picture from that day wasn't a zoo animal!
Canadian Pacific 2317 sits just at the start of the junction at Steamtown NHS. This locomotive was built in 1923 in Montreal and saw a rich life of mainline passenger service. Its revenue service ended in 1959, and after some time it ended up pulling passenger excursions. The last time it ran was in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_2317
