Rick, that was in the good old days of the mighty PRR, when there were four tracks on the Horseshoe Curve! And in 1966 I was working for the PRR while attending Drexel University in Philadelphia. Russ
Steve, thanks! Sorry 😢 about the dirty rear window and side window! And I got to the side window after we had already started rounding the World 🌎 Famous Horseshoe Curve! Russ
That was a fun ride. A different and interesting point of view from the Virtual Railfan camera at the curve. First time seeing one of your videos, I'll be back...
Russell, I really enjoy your videos, but you misstated a few things on this one: The tunnel you went through is the Allegheny tunnel, which was double-tracked, notched and the roadbed lowered in the early '90's (not the '60's as stated)so Conrail could run double stacks through it. The sealed tunnel is Gallitzen tunnel, which was rendered obsolete by the improved Allegheny Tunnel. And I was at Cassandra when you went by! If I'd known you were aboard and filming, I would've waved! Keep posting your great trips.
Thanks Russ. Nice to see the viewpoint from the train . Been to most of the other spots trackside but what a difference.
Bob, you’re most welcome!

I remember travelling on the Horseshoe Curve in 1966 when I was 6 years old. From Canton, Ohio to Altoona, PA on the PRR.

Durrell, thanks 😊! Regarding the tunnels at Gallitzin, before the video I had done a search and what I narrated was what came up on the search.
Russ
Awesome video how long was that tunnel? Thanks for posting it. Have a great weekend everyone
David, thanks 😊! The tunnel is 3,605 in length.
Russ
tunnel was pretty long. and I was just thinking the same thing you said, at that time.. you got some good speed going on there
Sparky, you betcha!
If only Amtrak would bring back the old open-platform observation cars, and clean the windows properly!
Daniel, I agree wholeheartedly!
Nice but too long
How’s the Lake Shore Limited doing?
