[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rf16a If you go to Cresson, a great place to stay is The Station Inn. (www.stationinnpa.com) You can watch main line action from a rocking chair on the front porch. Owner/host Mr. Tom Davis can provide you with a wealth of information about railfanning the area. Lilly, Cassandra, and South Fork are all good locations. If you're in the Altoona area, the Brickyard is a nice spot. If you go to Johnstown, visit the inclined plane and ride it up to the top of the mountain for a spectacular view of the city. As for Horseshoe Curve, if you have never been there, by all means go. I for one wi***hat 1)the excess vegetation on the Curve would be removed asap, and 2) that the Curve was open to visitors year round. [/quote] The Curve is open year round, but the visitors center and funicular are closed during that time. Replying to Bakerson, the hotels in the area are plentiful, there is a Motel 6, a Holliday Inn Express with computers in every room, a Hampton Inn, and a Days Inn. Plus, there are many other places to sleep. Hungry? Restaurants are everywhere! There is even a restaurant called R-Waffle King that has a menu devoted to the Pennsy and a G scale train running along the room. Plus, there are several other restaurants, including the regular Burger King McDonalds thing, plus a Papa John's pizza place, Pizza Hut, and the world famous (Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia only) Sheetz.
