Last night about 11 PM an east bound NS train lost its air on the Curve right past the park. Watched for a good hour while the conductor walked the train through the deep snow and cold. wa carrying a bright lantern, finally stopped at a freight car and waited. Tied down some brakes because it was on the hill. Never learned what caused the problem but finally headed for Altoona. Almost 500 watching. The guy earned his money on that trip. Good thing it was a man crew. Real railroading.
