Altoona Railfest 2009, Eleven of us drove down from Greenville, Pa. Sunday morning to the Altoona Railroaders Museum. We rode the train Sunday afternoon up and through the Horse Shoe Curve. We had a great time.

Very nice!  There used to be a nice signal bridge there.  At least there are Conrail tri-colors instead of NS "traffic lights".

Yea Don, I remember it being there when I was in college. So it was removed sometime between 2000 and today. I am going to guess around 2001 or 2002 because its been gone for a while. Darryl

So have I!  I don't think I've been out that way since 1995 or so.
