Railfanning Downtown Altoona, PA

HD 1080p: Altoona, PA, once a thriving railroad town back in the early 1900's, was the next stop on my railfanning trip. I took Amtrak from Johnstown to the station in Altoona and railfanned the entire day. Even though traffic wasn't heavy because it was a Monday, I managed to catch a few trains, including one with a 6 engine lashup. The video starts with a quick clip of riding around the Horseshoe Curve heading towards Altoona. Enjoy yet another railfanning video from Eastern Railfan Productions!

@railfan23 I'm curious, which webcam are you talking about?

[railfan23]

@srr7312 ok I was going to view the cam that is set up but for some reason I cant view it using windows internet exploer. When my friend comes over I will use his computer to view it.

@railfan23 From what I could see from the Curve, it looks to be pretty old, but I could be mistaking.

@railfan23 I have been up once before but didnt do much filming but now I am ready to get videos. Also is the signal bridge at Horseshoe Curve new or is the old one still there

[srr7312]
