    i lived in this part of pennsylvania for nine months while attending school and seeing videos like this make me regret not visiting visiting places like horseshoe curve.

    Simply a great Video !!!
    As a German train lover I had the chance to spend a Sunday at this spot and it was simply overwhelming, experiencing the ground vibrations, when these loco combinations passed by.

    Sounds would make a great addition to my toy train layout along with the Train sounds already installed. I love the sqeaking and squeeling wheels!

    Thanks for answering my question below.I had a feeling there must be a crew in the front unit as well as one of the very back units.
    All I know about HS curve is ,it's near Altoona, PA.Very well known place for railfans.

    Most excellent video. In Joliet IL you many BNSF trains loaded with containers and coal but they move through very slowley. Cant get a sense of power. I see the "J" also from time to time, using a caboose.

    Anyhow, since my computer wont let me reply to other peoples comments let alone my own. Great video that place is awesome I went there over the early fall, and loved it, great to see those SD40-2(I think or SD45s?) Leading that freight better then those new wide cabs. Mike

    The diesel is a GP9 painted for the Pennsylvania RR. IT was put there to replace the PRR K-4 pacific that was removed 9/12/85 to be restored for excursion service.

    I think He is talking about the viewing platform set up for rail-fans at Homewood Illinois, along side the Canadian National[former Illinois Central] main line just South of their Markham Yard.

  • @robertgift
    @robertgift 16 років тому

    Do they ever cause loss of traction if lubricant gets on the rail head?
    Lots of flange squeal.
    Imagine how much more if they were NOT greased.
    In the late 50s/early 60s when I last visited as a little kid, there was a huge steam locomotive there.
    I remember that building with chimney.
    There also was a huge tree.

  • @mandalay71
    @mandalay71 17 років тому

    On the second freight train, they use a push-pull system. Does the very front unit have control of all units? In case of an emergency up front, the very last 2 units must cut power too. How does it work?

    Four miles west of Altoona. Go out to the resevoir. Right in the middle of the state. Fly to Chicago, clear customs, get on a plane for Pittsburgh, change to a commuter plane for Altoona/Blair County Airport. Take a taxi.

    Horseshoe curve was so important in
    moving troops and supplies during WWII that the Nazis had plans to try and blow it
    up but were never able to put their
    plot into operation.

  • @robertgift
    @robertgift 16 років тому

    Flange oilers for that curved track?
    Or would oil get on the rail head and reduce locomotive traction?
    Lucky to capture three trains!
    Lube or loosen your tripod horizontal table to stop the jerkiness. Very annoying and ruins viewing.

    WalkingHard101,ReagenSmash190 if u don't like watching trains, then don't watch train vids. I think robertgift and mattmaddie hit it right on the head. btw, if anyone ever gets the chance to visit horseshoe, it is AWESOME.

    dude, I'm 15...It was over summer and we were bored. Btw, I saw your....1 whole video. Its not exactly awesome. At least one or two of ours had a little comical value. Yours is just of no use what so ever.
