Conrail Pittsburgh to Altoona Spring 1999

That first location under the sewickely bridge is a childhood location of mine, my brother used to play indoor soccer in the blue building and I would stand outside and watch the parade of NS trains fly by, I have several shots at that location

The shot with the C40-8W led train going past the tower marked "C" with the Conrail truck in the foreground and an Orthodox Church in the background was amazing! That is what I call an iconic scene. Man this was some great footage. The horns, the locos we don't see anymore and of course the real Big Blue in its final months. I even saw a blue "CR" patched gondola behind the SD40-2 pulling the train thru the crossing with the other dash 2 pushing and thats really cool. Thanks Railroad Media Archive for posting this.

The 15 minute mark onward is clearly shot from route 22, not far from horseshoe curve. Even with the highway noise, the helpers can clearly be heard grinding up the mountain.

More great footage! Thanks for sharing.

9:42 look at the last locomotive what is that

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

The last locomotive on the head end is a C40-8W, the pushers are a pair of SD40-2s.

Nice video! I like the Dash 7's! Really nice!

[@joetarantine4075]

A lot of this footage I believe is from the Conrail's Conclusion videos. Guess it's giving me an idea what's in all of them as the only one I own in the series is Big Four Volume 1

[@RubbleByte]

Can you try to list where the locations were shot?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

0:00 - Homestead. 0:58 - I think Swissvale. 2:36 - Wilmerding 5:23 - Turtle Creek 6:48 - Swissvale. 11:42 - Conemaugh. 14:44 - Altoona. 15:17 - Horseshoe Curve.

Could you rewrite this in a proper sentence form for someone could actually make sense of what your saying.
