Renovo - thanks for posting your pics. I was hoping that NS would have brought in 4270 & 4271 too, but my source in Altoona states that thus far they were a no-show. They did make it on the T-shirts they're selling up there.

The K 4 is long gone. It was replaced with a GP 9.

You say you were out by Horseshoe Curve by Altoona, did you say the Pennsy K4 steam locomotive on display? The E-8's are nice but I happen to like the K4's and the GG1's in the pennsy fleet.
