@meccaturbo I know that now lol. that was back when I was just starting railfanning again. :P

@iceman977th No, the second helper is an SD45-2.

The altoona area used to be the third busiest railway in the world. I used to go there when I was a little kid. That's how I fell in love with trains.

Love the horn on the second train's leader

@JSTONE9352 Not everything has to be grafittied on
-
Its just Horseshoe not HorseShoe
-
Notice the lack of graffiti on railcars back then, apparently that was not
the thing to do in 1995.

I wish there were some videos of Horseshoe during the last years of the Pennsylvania Railroad...circa 1966-1968....SD40's, SD45's, etc. They seem to be nonexistant.

I would love to see those also! All I got is memories of back in the 60's, visiting my grandparents in Johnstown. They hand a house on a hill with a back porch that had a great view looking down onto the 4 track mainline. Also a great view of the local trains going in & out of the stealmills. I spent many hours on that back porch. And when mom & dad said time for bed, I would peak out the bedroom window watching trains. In bed the sound on the trains put me right to sleep!

Your Welcome BF!
I spent 8 hrs there that day. I shot Video of about 30 trains. 75 to 100 trians go by each day. Even though I uploaded 3 train videos I got better ones then this of that day. But My device I use to tranfer vidoes from VCR Or Camara went bonkers on Me. As soon as I get another device I will upload the rest that are even better then this!
