765 around the Curve
Author: P

Unexpectedly, I may have the opportunity to visit the area this weekend.

I want to ensure I understand what is happening. It appears that 765 will leave Lewistown at 8:30am to go west and pass through Altoona to ascend the line to Gallitzen, go around the wye at Gallitzen and then go back to Altoona for a lunch break. At 2:30pm, they leave Altoona and go east back to Lewistown.

Do I have this right?

We are guessing between 10:30 and 11:45...It could be earlier.

Is the engine bedding down at Lewistown or elsewhere each night?
