I just read the article about the Altoona railroaders museum falling into financial trouble. Could the reason be that it is more of an "Altoona History" museum then a railroad museum? Or could it be the $8.50 they charge per person to get in the door? <br />I visited for the first time in April, and was NOT impressed. It took me just over an hour to view the exhibits which were nice and informative, but definately not worth the price of admission. The rolling stock outside the museum was in sad shape, and most was covered with blue tarps, so viewing them was worthless. <br />On the other hand, the Horseshoe Curve park only cost about $3.50, included access to the top to watch trains, included a nice museum, a nice gift shop, and lots and lots of freights climbing and descending the mountain. <br />Does anyone else have good or bad things to say about either site? <br />
