Scranton is located in Northeastern Pennsylvania at the western edge of the Pocono Mountains. This city is the center of the Anthracite Coal region. It was largely built as a result of the railroads. This was the primary hub of the Lackawanna Railroad.
- Pros:Railroad History Buffs' Heaven
- Cons:Town is definitely in its down side.
- In a nutshell:A great place to spend a day.

Great overview! Most likely will be visiting Steamtown next week while in the Poconos.
A quick & efficient look into a city worthy of more notice. Thanks.
Thanks for the information on Steamtown, we love trains--especially those old steam engines!
