The cars are painted tuscan red with five gold pinstripes and a Pennsy keystone on the front. The incline only operates every 15 minutes now, but Horse Shoe Curve is open 24/7/365(or six). The park used to be open only until 8:00 pm with the incline operating every three minutes. I myself prefer riding the incline, but for some reason my brother likes to tire himself out on the 130+ stairs.
