My first ever trip to the Horseshoe Curve, July 4th 2010, Part 2

Nick......I have been going to horseshoe curve since i was a young boy when my Dad was an engineer on the Pennsy......It's a lot easier getting to the top now with the incline fanicular........Years ago they had wooden steps you had to walk up to the top of the curve and at the bottom there was no gift shop or museum .....just an old Pennsy caboose that was converted into a refreshment stand

@escape150 Thanks Ron! I actually walked the step up and down, the incline car only goes every 15 mins. so I wasn't about to wait! LOL I was too anxious! Its a really cool place that I will definitely visit again soon!

You are really steady with your camcorder without the tripod. I didnt know that you didnt have a tripod till i read the description.

[PghTrainFanatic]

@GoldenCreekValleyRR thanks! i cheated an rested my arm on the handrails, so i could have a more steady shot.

[GoldenCreekValleyRR]

@PghTrainFanatic cool. i do that a lot when i forget my tripod. tip of advice don't buy a monkey tripod that grips onto anything. it is terrible for railfanning
