Greetings Everyone,
As posted in a previous thread, my wife and I visited Gallitzin, Pa this past Thursday and Friday and had the pleasure of lodging at the World-Famous Tunnel Inn. 
It has been many years since our last visit (IIRC Conrail diesels could be seen all along the “West Slope”) but the wonderful memories have been extremely well preserved by Stationmaster Bob Elder, the new owner. A warm and friendly greeting awaited our arrival and we were promptly escorted to our room, The ALCO. The room was tastefully appointed and clean as a whistle. Ditto for the private bath which included a shower with plenty of hot water. Our room had self-regulating climate control, cable TV, a small refrigerator and complimentary WiFi. The guest rooms are located on the second floor and a common hall way leads to a very comfortable covered deck which overlooks the Norfolk Southern two track mainlines that go directly under Tunnel Hill. Continental Breakfast is nice touch and coffee is available throughout the day. My wife loves the Tunnel Inn and we’ll be going back later this year. 
Real close to Horseshoe Curve and The Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona. Not far from Cresson, Carney’s Crossing and The Brick Yard as well.
Chief Bob (Retired)
