Cliff, In 1959 I won a trip to Chicago for the national 4-h Convention. I took a P.R.R. train from Philadelphia to Chicago. I'll never forget going around Horseshoe Curve, seeing the other half of the train as we rounded it. JP Videos goes there fairly often to train Watch. Great day between you and Kevin! Cheers, Rik Spector

What a remarkable young man. So young and already an author. Love to see young people interested in history.

Great video as always Cliff. Already saw the other video with the young man, and it was a great one too. And he seems to have a very bright future.

The pushers turn around & head back down the mountain & wait for the next train. That is why you saw the two engines going back down.

Wish I would have known you and the gang was coming to Altoona. I live right down the road from the curve. It truly never gets old!!

I took Amtrak several time back and forth from school in Pittsburgh to home Berks County. They tell you the history of the horseshoe curve. When you sit in the middle cars you can see the front and the back of the train at the same time! Its is really cool! They also had special runs from Altoona to Johnstown where they also would talk about the flood too.

We were there when our kids were little. We were able to go up the incline.

Thank you Cliff, the video was both very cool and fascinating! I myself, love trains and we have one here in Burlington City that is actually an industrial train that runs late at night. Majority of the time, you can hear them running, in which I find it to be a peaceful and relaxing sound.

I can see Kevin being a really great history teacher or Professor one day. If you think this is exciting you should see the Tehachapi Loop in Mohave Desert.

Railfanners love it when two trains coming in opposite directions pass each other!

I'm going to stop there on my way home from Michigan in August. I haven't been out to the curve in a few years. The curve is one of my favorite vacation destination

The trains sure made for an interesting video. Last year we visited Steam town National historic site in Scranton. There was a ton of train related history to explore and see.

Back in the day when we would camp at Prince Glalitzenwe would go up there every time. Some times we'd just ride up for the day. There was no visitors center and it was free to walk up the steps. One time 2 trains came by,passing each other .ok,just finished the video. That brings back memories. Last time I was there there were only some benches up on top. No buildings like now. And, i seem to remember seeing coke ovens up tbe the woods on the left side of the road ax you head toward tbe curve. I had no idea there had been a town there. Loved this video I was there once again. Safe travels as always.❤❤❤❤

Very interesting video. My dad worked on the B&O railroad so I’ve always had an interest in trains. I love the sounds of trains, the clacking sounds of wheels on rails, that train whistle. Thanks for making and sharing this one.

Pennsylvania Railroad engineering landmark, passed to PC, Conrail and eventually Norfolk Southern from various mergers over the years. Glad to see it featured!
