EMD sw-1

[e-paw]

Well faraway I may be able to answer your question. Steamtown is part of the National park service, fully owned and operated by the federal government. It is staffed mainly by volunteers. My group, The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society, Is one of several groups that are involved here with the operation, maintenance , and restoration of equipment on the parks ground.
The DL&W F-3's , FA-2 , and SW-1 are owned by our group and stored on the park grounds. We have use of the shop facilities for restoration and maintenance of our equipment. Steamtown provides crews ( also volunteers ) to operate the equipment on it's excursions and daily trains. We do have several members of our group that are qualified to run the locomotives and are very happy to lend a hand at the various events that are held during the year. On all of the trips that leave the yard limits and venture out on the main, at least one of the restoration crew members ride the cab as a mechanic, just incase something goes wrong. Check out the next E-mag that Eightyeightfan1 will be putting out soon, I have a whole article done about one of these trips that will be in it..
As for the insurance ,,, I know that we do have coverage on the locomotives and I am sure Steamtown must have some kind of insurance that allows them to run on the main owned by the Delaware Lackawanna. I hope that this helped
