We were in Altoona this week, Sunday and Monday. Never having been there before I was quite impressed with the museum. I never knew the Pennsy cranked out so much rolling stock there. Amazing. I agree about the condition of the cars out back although I thought the GG1 looked like it had some recent primer on it. I didn't ask if they'd been working on it. The Horseshoe Curve had a work crew just to the west but I don't know what they were doing. There was a big yellow truck ( like a 5-tonner) , hi-railer, with a van/box type back from Sperry but again, I don't know what he was doing. Sat and watched trains for a couple of hours. Lots to watch. Also saw several sets of dead-heads ( 2 to 5 locos) heading back down. And the leaves are spectacular! <br />Had to also make the "pilgrimage" to Kinzua to see what's left. Bummer.
