I had another breakfast of a waffle and crispy bacon before I went back up to my Room to check things on the Internet. At 7:00 AM I went down to the boarding area finding some of my close friends which I joined. The train came in late again and the usual two doors boarding for coach. This train had a consist of RS-3s 4118, 4013 and 4068, Lehigh Valley 353, NKP 211 City of Lima, Combine CNJ 303, Coaches CNJ 1126 and 1157, DL&W 550, 589, CNJ 1152 and DL&W 335. I took a seat in the DL&W 335 right in front of Bart Jennings who opened all the windows in the car. Once everyone was aboard and all orders going we departed Scranton for the Delaware Water Gap.
The train climbed the grade out of Scranton running through Nay Aug Park before we ran through the Nay Aug Tunnel. Near the old location we detrained for the first photo runby of the day.

This is as far as our trip went. We waited for the CN 3254 to back to us as well as the RS-3s to run around the train before our trip back to Scranton could begin.
