570FireRadio added local railroad radio channels for today’s Big Boy and 2102 movements through the Greater Pittston area.

You can also listen live to local Fire & EMS audio, just like we do when we’re keeping track of calls around the area.

🚂LISTEN TO BIG BOY ON 570FireRadio!🚂

Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 is expected to pass through Avoca, Duryea, and part of Pittston three times, and Reading & Northern 2102 is expected to pass through twice. For railfans, scanner listeners, and anyone watching from Avoca, Duryea, Pittston, or anywhere else in Upper Luzerne County, it should be quite the day.

For the occasion, 570FireRadio has added local Norfolk Southern and Reading & Northern railroad radio channels as a special promo for listeners and railfans following today’s movements.

Our receiver is located near the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, giving us solid coverage of local rail traffic from around Taylor up toward Laurel Run, including the Pittston Yard area. You should start hearing steam related radio traffic around 11am.

Whether you’re trackside or following along from home, you can listen to some of the local railroad radio traffic right from the 570FireRadio app.

570FireRadio normally provides live scanner audio for Lackawanna and Luzerne County Fire & EMS, but today we’re adding railroad audio for one of the biggest steam days NEPA has seen in a long time.

Just before 10:30pm Wilkes-Barre City Firefighters were dispatched to the unit block of East Beatty Street for the reported house fire. Engine 2 arrived to find the front porch of a double block home well involved with live power lines down and flames starting to spread into the house, causing the incident to escalate to a 2nd alarm bringing in Kingston Forty Fort Fire Department for RIT. The fire was quickly knocked down and firefighters were able to keep it from engulfing the rest of the home. No one was hurt, and 2 cats were rescued from the home.

West Wyoming Fire-Rescue and mutual aid partners from both sides of the river battled a stubborn house fire on Cooper Hill Road on Wednesday afternoon amidst a torrential downpour.

On Saturday, March 28th, Scranton Fire Department was dispatched to the 1300 block of Dartmouth Street just after 6:00 PM for a reported structure fire. Engine 7 arrived to a fully involved home, with fire quickly extending to the exposures on both sides.
