My highest frequency of traffic was 16 trains in an hour and a half at Gibbon NE. <br />If you're heded to the East, be sure to spend a night or two at the Station Inn in Cresson, PA. It is on the western slope of the Allegehny(sp?) mountains so there's plenty of pusher action, along with 4 Amtrak trains. There are alot of really fantastic spots to watch trains, all within a 15 mile drive. These include but are not limited to the iron bridge at Cassandra, the Gallitzen tunnels, the horseshoe curve, and downtown Altoona(which has a nice footbridge directly over the Amtrak station where westbound freights often pause before opening the throttles wide and climbing the grade to the curve). Most of the towns along the rails have parks or at least a bench for railfans to sit and take in the action.
