The Horseshoe Curve does have a finicular (sp) which is a cable car to take you to the top of the curve where the viewing area is. The steps are no big deal if you are reasonably fit and the little bit of exercise will be good for you. Another good place to see slow moving uphill traffic in Altoona is the old brick factory located adjacant to the tracks around 31st street. Ask directions from any older resident and they should know where it is. There is also a Motel 6 with $40 rooms and several restaurants right off the first Altoona exit going north on Rt. 220 (I think). It would be worthwhile seeing all the other nearby train watching sites such as Cassandra, Gilletison, etc.that others mentioned by making it a three day weekend. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays have the most rail traffic. Have fun! Bill
