John Danielson General Very nice shot! 9/9/2010 9:51:38 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks John, I should've made more than 1 trip here & shot more than just the curve area. I would've liked shooting the Gallitzin Twin Tunnels, etc. I was with someone else & he was driving so I let him do whatever he wanted. We made the trip for Horseshoe Curve so we spent the day there. Now that Conrail doesn't exist anymore I don't care if I ever go back, because now for the most part it's all NS black, but there are units I'd want to catch up there such as the SD40E'S & SD80MAC'S as well as any Conrail that's left & any EMD'S. I may pay this area another visit when I make trips to the northeast for regionals & shortlines 9/10/2010 7:43:37 AM
John Danielson General Still on my list to visit someday and still a good shot! 4/22/2011 10:16:24 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General I hope you get to visit the Horseshoe Cure someday, even though it's not Conrail anymore it's still very busy & if you get a solid set of EMD's oh what a sound that is of them battling up grade in run 8 4/22/2011 10:39:24 PM
