The Tunnel Inn - Gallitzin, PA

[@kevinbaker4241]

I stayed at the Tunnel Inn way back in September of 2011 - it was (to date) the only time I ever did any railfanning in Pennsylvania. I visited both Horseshoe Curve and the Railroaders Memorial Museum in downtown Altoona. I still have video footage from that visit, including a catch of one of NS's few remaining Conrail blue SD50 locomotives leading a freight out of the Gallitzin Tunnels. I wish I could go back... but that won't happen any time soon, because my stepfather (who went along with me on the 2011 trip) passed away in February 2023, putting an indefinite pause on any future trip plans.

I'm also a drummer, and if the owner let me play on that kit, the whole building would collapse. Awesome video!

[@MissRailfan]

I'm a frequent guest to the inn. Bob is a really good buddy of mine.

[@WallieB26]

Bob is great people. Good friend of mine as well!

[@SpiritBear2032]

Dude, your drumming gave me CHILLS!!! Mad Respect 💪

[@WallieB26]

Thank you!

[@PFB1994]

Stayed here late May 2023 for the first time. 10 out of 10 stars, easily. Stayed for one night, hope to do 2 nights next time.

[@RandyCRR]

Stayed at the Inn about 10 years ago. We were lucky to see the Ringling Brothers Circus Train coming out of the tunnel heading towards Pittsburgh. Great place to stay.

[@razzyp]

[@nicolemacpherson3908]

How nice of Mary to do that for you! She sounds like a very nice girl. May God bless both of you!

[@lisadungan9276]

I was trying to figure out which was my favorite part…the Inn, the trains, or your mad percussion skills. I’m gonna go with the percussion. I love it!!!!

[@jasonwilliams6005]

From one drummer (percussionist) to another - nice job!

[@ErikVince]

That is an awesome shot with that old pickup truck there 13:11

[@alanlough638]

I immensely enjoyed this video, Wallie!! 👍👍👍👍

[@ditchpatcher]

That whistle post with the morse code marking were only used on the Southern railway so it's pretty far away from home. And yes you can still find some on the former southern.

[@Rossturnerphoto]

Came for the inn tour and trains going by, stayed for your awesome drumming skills. Really fun video. I look forward to seeing your other videos from this location.

[@JPVideos81]

What funny timing. I was just at the tunnel a couple days ago and I was talking about the Inn.

[@WallieB26]

We were there in early April. Such a great little place with really great people.

[@jennydillon2356]

U did awsome on the drums wallie my dad was always good at playing the drums as well👍

Hey Wallie

[@gerredstallings465]

Nice hotel

[@kimberlygorcey4290]

dumb question here, from a new rail fanner, is it called a stack train because of the tractor trailers iti is hauling?

[@WallieB26]

Yes. Those and the shipping containers.

[@jamesgarasiun5082]

Wallpaper- I’m a drummer too, answer the age old question; who is better!! - Keith Moon vs John Bonham. Moon the loon and Bonzo. The 2 best!!!!! R.I.P.

[@anthonycoach4551]

Who's bob the owner oh station master what's a station master??so this is up before Altoona pa or after Altoona pa???

[@anthonycoach4551]

[@misterhat5823]

Stupid question time... Does the Amtrak train from Philly to Pittsburgh go through the tunnel? I was considering riding it because it went around horseshoe curve, but the tunnel would be awesome too.

[@WallieB26]

It does!

[@misterhat5823]

@@WallieB26 Thanks! I'm adding it to the list.

[@SpiritBear2032]

What's a white ninja? Oh, nevermind, i got my answer 😂😂❤

[@gradymcclintock6160]

[@moose4164]
