 Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
In interpreting the locomotives and cars at Steamtown, it is important that the National Park Service adopt the broad approach of considering the locomotives and cars from the standpoint of their associations and value as fixed exhibits, as well as from the standpoint of their technological significance and operability.
However, locomotives and cars that operated for more than one carrier during their history without physical change, but with different color, lettering, and numbering schemes while serving each carrier, may in the course of their exhibit service be repainted at different times to represent the different carriers they represented.
Specifically with respect to locomotives, it is important to keep in mind that the main line locomotives of one decade might become the branch line or short line locomotives of a later era, and even an industrial locomotive or industrial plant switcher of a still later era.
