Steam locomotives excite the senses and Steamtown keeps their stories alive! Feel the heat from the firebox. Hear the bell and whistle. Smell the hot steam and oil. Feel the ground vibrate under your feet. See one-ton drive rods push the wheels around. Hear the chuff-chuff-chuff of the smokestack. Today, you can relive the era of steam as the engines come back to life. The cinders, grease, oil, steam, people and stories of railroading have returned. Leashed pets are permitted in some areas of the park, but are not allowed in the buildings, the turntable area, locomotive or railroad car. Leashes must be no longer than six feet. Pets may not be left unattended in a vehicle.
