@Bignadim No there were two tunnel at on time the tunnel on the right (camera right) had one track and the other one on the left had a track in it but in 1994 Conrail wanted to run double stack containers over this line but the tunnels were to low. So they enlarged the one on the right (camera right) and move the track from the tunnel on the left to the right tunnel. I think the left one still is used by MOW vehicles.
@whatihave2do I think someone said it was an original tunnel,but they enlarged the one tunnel,and left the other closed up......maybe google the Gallitzin tunnel?
The other hole that your refering to is actually another tunnel like this one. Prior to 1994, both tunnels (the one in use and the abandoned one) were single track tunnels but in 1994, the one is use was temporarly taken out of service to be enlarged to allow double stack container trains to go through it. As part of this project, the track that went through the other tunnel was relocated to the other tunnel, in essence turning it from two single track tunnels to one double track tunnel
@waterskippers Its possible. Norfolk Southern uses the tunnel at times as an access road for maintanence trucks to reach remote areas. Plus i hear that they keep it in a good state of repair in case of a large traffic surge and they need to install another track temporarily
The main reason for the new tunnel was so double stack container trains can get through - coast to coast container freight is one of the main things US railroads do these days.
@musicandtrains because the DPU's are only used for about 20 or so miles then they get removed it is not like on UP where the DPU's are used for 100s of miles
the tunnel you see with 2 tracks use to be a single tunnel with one track and the 2nd track was threw the other tunnel you see. there are actually 3 tunnels. but you cant see the 3rd from here its down the road but on the other side of these tunnels you can see all 3. these tunnels are part of the rail that comes around the horse shoe curve in altoona pa
That's pretty cool. Where I railfan...I see 2 trains side-by-side all the time. In fact, one time...the crossing gates didn't go up until 6 trains had went by. However...I didn't have my camcorder ready in time. Talk about heart-breaking.
When Conrail had the railroad they had the tunnel on the right redone to allow double-stack and put both tracks in one tunnel....I was there about 12-13 years ago when they were doing the work.....they still have the rails in the tunnel just in case they ever had to use it....
usually with only 2 tracks one train is going in the opposite direction to the other, thats unusual to see 2 trains side by side going in the same direction
rare catch here! I've never seen 2 trains heading the same direction at Galetzin before! Nice catch here! porbably what will happen is 07T will get ahead of the autorack and then pass in front while the autoracks wait
most or just about all the trains that go the opposite direction go in another tunnel the third main about a quarter to half a mile down the road its hard to see trains there the third main used to be where the third tunnel is
wow/now what were the chances of him being at the spot at the time and that train being overtaken right there? almost like being at the exact spot at the end of 2 trains, going the opposite direction and both trains having cabooses at the end wow
Wow! So, any Amtrak coming from Philly through Harrisburg (NS is sooo lucky in PA), through Pittsburgh, and on to Cleveland, etc. HAS to come through itty litty lil Gallitzin, PA. Train lover bonus there. Thanks for the footage.
The tunnel to the left was one of the original tunnels. There is a video on youtube called *9-unit Westbound at Gallitiz* that shows the tunnel being used.
I was excited to see this video, as i have been to Gallitzen many times. I have never seen 2 trains both going the same direction at the same time though, great catch indeed!!
