This Summer, we decided to take our kids on a fun yet educational, road trip. We packed our suitcase and headed west to the beautiful and breathtaking, Allegheny Mountains. Our destination spots were: Altoona, Cresson, Gallitzin, and Tyrone, all in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania!. We kept the trip a surprise for our two sons; we wanted to see the surprised look on their faces when we arrived at our destination. Our two boys, like their Dad, LOVE TRAINS!, and this area is a railfan's dream come true as far as train watching is concerned. And boy were they excited!.
In Altoona, we visited the world famous Horseshoe Curve:

Kittanning Reservoir
Below is a westbound trailer train, led by a NS C40-9W and a Conrail SD-50. You can visit this area from April to November. If you've never been there, is a beautiful place to visit. You don't have to be a railfan to appreciate the majestic
views.
