Amazing

Fantastic information, especially for genealogy and migration patterns. Thank you.

A surprisingly good video.

it was a wonderful ceremony- thank you all staff and students for making it a smooth graduation day- So proud of my daughter and all the students. CLASS of 2024! YOU DID IT! :-). CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Im maybe wrong in my memory but the incline planes up the mountain to galitzin there was about 15 to 17 of them lot of misinformation

This was a fantastic video that provided very good history about PRR around Altoona. We’ve been to Altoona and traveled around the horseshoe curve on Amtrak. Riding the incline to the top observation area is a must-see when you are visiting!

My family (McCloskey) and related families (Wilt, Yingling, etc.) were from Altoona. Thomas McCloskey, who is buried with his family in Greenlawn Cemetery in Holidaysburg, came here in the 1700s from Ireland. My great grandfather and great great grandfather, along with other family members, worked for the railroad. Wish I had time to go back and research, but I do ancestry of our family online via the Mormon ancestry site. In the 70s, every summer we would go back to Altoona with our grandparents and stay at the same Penn Alto Motel and ate most every meal at Howard Johnson's! I would love to visit that area again -- something keeps telling me I belong there.

Kinda sad that we feel the need to include a personal message/beliefs in what's supposed to be educational film.

I enjoy this video very much then

Very nice presentation. My dad was a Penn-Altoona Alum in the Electrical Engineering program. One of his favorite activities prior to his departing this world was to visit the campus and reminisce of his time spent there. I have always been fascinated with history, especially PA history and I had often wondered about the massive rail yard in Altoona. I'd really be interested in a presentation regarding the architecture of the late 18th and early 19th century buildings in Altoona. Old world buildings have such charm and are spectacularly detailed in their craftsmanship. they just don't make them like that anymore!

very well done

Wonderful video 😊

Horseshoe curve originally had 4 tracks, not 3!

exceptional prestation , good job, must view ! i live in H shoe curve area & ive read history books on your subject, to many have no idea of history & also the fact that history repeats itself at diff times, somtimes good & alot of bad also,

?????

😂

Dreams come true! I thank everyone who tirelessly worked on this project.

Great documentary. I've lived in Altoona my whole live and nice to get some confirmation of stories I've heard growing up.

The first SD60 in preservation. Donated by NS to Penn State University for use as a tool. They would later wound up donating it to Railroaders Memorial Museum this year and they have plans to use it as a training unit for their railroad program.

I could cry. SD60is were my favorite on NS and CR. I have a feeling this unit will be out back into its Conrail scheme and help with the K4 excursions.

This class looks awesome!

as a railroad man i know this town, the resurants suck they are all greasy spoon types not fit for a dog.

I lived on the opposite side of Juniata Gap Rd (Alta Ave) as a child in the early 70s. Many fond memories of ice skating on the Duck Pond, err, reflecting pool, and always knowing what time it was by the bells ringing from the chapel. We'd catch crawfish in Spring Run and ride our bicycles up Gwinn Rd. Thanks for this historic trip down memory lane.

So what do you think I'm holding? A light No, it's an LED Um, what??????

That solution with big bubbles would be great.

Wow. It's ghost poop. 👻 Obviously that's why it is so weird.

Great experiment. Seeing it floating at the half way mark is great.

You need to use the egg that sank in fresh water because a spoiled egg will float on fresh water.

Oak and maple hall are not air conditioned and it's 90F in the dorm rooms in August/ September.

Dave Kimmel's gentle, patient and wise contributions to my growth and direction were enormous. Values of decency, respect, commitment are best taught by example, and there is no better example than the one he has gifted Penn State students for a period that spans almost one third of the University's history. Well done, Mr. Kimmel.

my dream college!

I was looking at, He Has Seen War it was good but I did not see one African America in the film. I'm a Marine veteran of Desert Storm.

Lol Altoona sucks there is nothing fun to do here I have lived here my whole life it's boring

Thanks for producing this! E. Raymond Smith was my great-grandfather.

Other things around Altoona is Shaffer's full steam ahead hobby shop, looking at all the trains at the NS Juniata locomotive shop, and the world famous Horseshoe curve.

Thank you HDFS faculty!!!😋

Well done, Brandis! Its impressive how far you've come!

My new favorite song - and delivered so well!

That was awesome!
