Eastern Railroad Discussion > Adventures in Pennsylvania

Hi All!

I'm fresh off my trip from Altoona, Pennsylvania!  We had an excellent time and saw a lot of trains.  I captured a lot of pictures and video and have a ton of good memories.

Here's a small sampling of what I captured....

1) Gallitzin Tunnels
2) Horseshoe Curve
3) Cresson

1) Route 52 Overpass
2) Lily
3) Altoona Yard

I also found a pretty cool function on my camera I never even used before (my brother pointed it out to me).  Take a look at these two pictures.  One is an original shot.  The other uses a function called "minature" that makes the shot appear to look like a model train.  I thought it was pretty cool!

Thanks for the pictures.  Looks like you bagged a Connecticut DOT New Haven engine in the consist at Lilly

Very nice! Two different 80Mac's leading something other than coal!

Was going to ask about the 3rd unit in that picture - guessing that's what you're referring to. 

Yep, that's what it was....to be honest it was a bit monotonous seeing the same road over and over.   I did see one UP unit and this New Haven unit but other than that it was the rearing horse.

Ohwell, it was a great time nonetheless.  I'd rather see the same road than nothing at all.
