Excellent photography, crisp and clear...one of the best videos of this location that I've come across. Interesting to see a bit of the area beyond the tracks.
Nice job. Pennsylvania has a really interesting railroading history. I’ve been to several places in different parts of that state. It’s easy to see that geography was a problem for the railroads. Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal mining region fueled the railroads and industries. That’s interesting history too.
I haven't even watched this yet but I'll give it a thumbs-up! I was there today. I've been there dozens of times but I always look forward to and enjoy it. I love the graphics that show the viewer where they are. Thanks for the video!
What would be really awesome is if the installed a screen showing the ATCS Monitor data for the curve and the tracks around the area I have seen several times people have brought laptops and SDRs and run the software but the railroad should install it and display the activity. It would pull the area together and people would be ready for photography knowing when and where the trains were coming and what tracks
We have a stunning amazing horseshoe curve here in Washington state that will blow your mind more exiteting than this and it's setting is more dramatic and it is more stunning to watch , truelly ! No-lie ! It is wa-aay more amazeing ! This one is sort of flat, Ours is mountainous and remote ! Ours is on steep grades ! Yours is dull ?
Just because you've never heard of something doesn't make it not famous. It gained the term at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition, where a model of it was displayed. It was, at the time, a major work of engineering and well known outside the US.

We have to thank God for making PA. Fantastic place. Can't wait to visit back
Amazing crisp and detailed video. I was bit by the mosquitos there just by watching it.
Thanks for sharing! Great Place. Looking forward to visiting Altoona again this year!
Yes, a place I want to go back soon
The fact that they depict the P42 as a 6 axle locomotive on that poster bothers me way more than it should...
Train nerd moment. Like me.
You really should seek help.
I know Amtrak operates over this line as well. What is the closet station stop to this location and about how far from it?
I see AMTRAK few miles west from here, Tunel Hill but no idea where the train spotting.

Looks like your camera is overheating in a couple in the shots.
Good video and plenty of horn salutes
Nice camera work. Is there a reason why the on premise camera is not working? I haven't seen any live daily shot for weeks? I miss seeing 42 and 43.

I am coming in July in WA. Do you mean Trinitad Loop or else? I will contact you for possible railfan trips
You need to learn how to spell.
Seen it weak as fuck this was built in the 1850s and the grade is steeper than yours all you have is rain and depression
Typical American hyperbole using the term 'world famous' - it's so famous that I've never heard of it.

@@Alxnick fame is transient, Maybe you should have applied the term 'was world famous over 130 years ago'?
