Lackawanna Mine Tour

November 27, 2015

On a warm fall day at McDade Park, the mine car comes up from the mine.   This was probably the last run of the year for it. 

By the way, McDade Park is a restored culm bank/mine area. 

There is a little "Steam Shovel" by a picnic area and some old mine cars.
