[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dougal On a railfanning trip to Altoona, Pa we drove along the NS main on route 22 and saw three trains (in five minutes) snaking through sharp curves on a ledge a few hundred yards from us, it was awsome![/quote] Yeah, dougal; I can sit alongside Allegrippus 24/7/365, watching West-bounds lug up-hill, or watching East-bounds snake their way down "the Slide", all day long (or until the Pennsylvania State Police pull-up behind you as you sit on the berm...). The scenery is nice year-round, with the 'fill' always looking-like it's eroding as you watch; and it often seems traffic is non-stop...I recently saw Amtrak over-take empty hoppers, which were over-taking double-stacks, ALL moving West-bound! Besides, dougal: you were 'probably' going to " HORSESHOE CURVE " (emphasis on 'CURVE' ).
