Railfest 2010 - Heavy Action on the NS PITL - Volume One!

From October 1st to the 3rd of 2010, Cody Zamostny (ConrailForever) and I spent our time along the busy Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line, catching whatever action we could, at as many places as we could, in the time that the Railfest 2010 event was taking place. What you see here are our very successful results. Enjoy!

Now the funniest thing about Railfest 2010 is...they ACTUALLY wanted people to believe that something was going on in Altoona! AMAZING isn't it? How the museum did NOTHING this year, and potentially killed the event?

Anyway, this was an awesome PITL compilation. Good choice in walking the "extra mile" to the PT 238 signals at the Brickyard like I always seem to do, lighting's killer up there in the late PM. Nice to see you went back to McGarveys, glad I was able to guide you there okay.

[CSXno601]

Yep, you sure did a good job at getting me there. I appreciate it! It's one of my favorite spots on the East Slope now!

[desertfoxx1823]

ok prolly a stupid question, but why do they call it the "brickyard crossing"?

[CSXno601]

One of the nearby industries.

[AliceInChains243]

@desertfoxx1823 The building in the background is the Altoona _______ Brick Company, or something like that. Therefore, you get the "Brickyard".
