November 2002 Norflok Southern 3351 an SD40-2 leads a heavy freight up Horeshoe Curve in Pennsylvania still in their Conrail colors. The ground shakes with the straining horsepower to pull this train over the summit of the Allegheny Mountains. A few more miles west and it's downhill to Pittsburg

I've been to Horseshoe Curve on my honeymoon. I have many 35mm shots at the same spot. I also got some in Galitzin, Cresson, and a few in downtown Altoona.

Great place to train watch. Now get that scanner out and and get those pictures posted! ;-)

It's all controlled by a 2 man crew up front, and the rest of the locomotives are controlled by the lead.
