Having several young children, I will find it difficult to be at Horseshoe Curve in Altoona (2-1/2 hours drive) at a specific time. Odds are, I will miss the one minute window that the 765 will actually be on the curve. DAMHIK.
However, I live close to Pittsburgh. So my question is similar to MartyE's. Will there/Is there a map which very clearly shows the route(s) the 765 will be taking? I have no idea where these yards are that you gentlemen are referring to, and no idea where the tracks are laid. It would be a lot easier to know where to plan on going to watch the run-by if I had a map clearly showing the tracks, not just roads.
Steinzeit gave the general stuff. Pull up yahoomaps or Bing maps for the track layout. Both show the tracks if you zoom in enough, or you can go to the aerial photos part for a better view. That said, nothing beats a bit of on-the-ground reconnaissance work.
Have fun,
Kevin
