Good evening, was just at the Railroaders Museum and the Horseshoe Curve last Sunday September 17 2017.
It was my birthday so where can you find a better place to spend it the these to great places, well maybe York !!!!!
This is the first I have been to these two places in some time.
I was coming down route 22 listening to my scanner when the call came in about the engineer having a heart attack. Haven't heard anything more about his condition.
Seen the K4 in it's dismantled state, a shame but at least it is in Altoona.
The Horseshoe Curve was great since the cut the trees and brush down. We had an older friend that lived in Johnstown and now Indiana Pa and this was the first time in her life she was ever at the curve.
She was impressed !!!!!
Lucky we had 3 trains that where within minutes of one another so that even made it better for her.
Unfortunately they had a break in at the curve the night before and the township police was there asking questions,
I guess they were all over the GP7 up on the curve.
Fortunately they have cameras located in the area so hopefully they catch the thieves.
Got a nice tee shirt " Get into a train set of mind Altoona Pa".
Nice picture of 1361 on the back.
Great day out and a great birthday !!!!!
