Where were old 1361 and 3750?
Whoever dispatched that train with one engine obviously has not yet found their calling in life.
I wish there was the radio calls from the train to the dispatcher! That would have been quite interesting!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 for the helpers,
Why only 1 engine?
What is astounding to me is the amount of torque applied to get the train moving on that incline. The wonders of diesel-electric propulsion!
One extremely *"Sad Day For Railroading"* 😢 . . *_But very interesting for _**_#Rail_Fans_* 🤗 👍
According to Train Sim world, the Curve is on a 1.6% grade. So trains coming out of Altoona are climbing that grade.
When is the cam coming back?
always happens to me in TSW3
Very cool. I remember as a child, back in the late 60's my dad showed me a very old wooden trestle that was presumably along the MA & PA ...my dad and I spent many years as steam railfans travelling to historic steam railroads on the east coast. And then all across the US. I have always wondered if any of the dozens of MA&PA trestles and bridges still remain. The historical book that was done on the MA & PA shows many photos of MA & PA steam trains and doodlebugs crossing various trestles. I believe we were somewhere in the area just south of York, possibly near the edge of Dallastown or we may have been in Red Lion. I have relatives in that area and my dad grew up in York & Dallastown so he enjoyed digging up this historical site from his youth. When he boarded a train and went off to war in WWII I think his train took him and the other recruits out of Dallastown on the MA & PA. After researching, I think it was the Yoe Trestle, which is near Red Lion..... I actually found a 2018 TH-cam Video of the YOE Trestle along the MA & PA. I am amazed that the Yoe Trestle is still standing.... Now, what, 120 years old?
Great shot
As crazy as it was to have 1 engine going up but how unsafe would that have been coming down
Wonderful video. Thank you
1:29 i love how it says "private property" even though Amtrak is funded which tax payer money. Therefore its publicly owned. Its like having someone physically trespassed from a Post Office. its publicly owned property. They really should increase service on the line.
Nice to see that “Cork” interlocking tower is in excellent condition from the look of it 😎
he is not going nowhere but back into the presidency in 2024.
No pushers at the bottom of the hill ? For heavens sake, who manages NS?
What happened? 😂😅
Way to go NS ; There IS a mountain there at the curve , power the trains with THAT in mind !!
Are you sure the train was stalled or was it in the hole?
Oops! That’s an expensive and time consuming mistake for a busy railroad.
Nice video. This must have been recorded before 2020, with the older helpers.
I guess trains aren't that strong after all, lol nice vid, greetings from Washington -Konlin Kuykendall
It was the same management that decided 2 yrs. ago that 6 empty lumber cars up near the locos on a long train derailed climbing out of Altoona on the curve & we’re surprised!
Sorta like the one in Bradford, Ohio.
I saw one in the opposite direction in the same place but it happened in the opposite direction of this train
Why did they put one unit on the head end?
The trainmaster doesnt care if the train is under powered once it departs the yard its not his responsibility 😂
I've never seen a single diesel loco at the head of a coal drag.
I guess NS has a shortage of locomotives since so many of them have been wrecked lately? Or maybe the people in charge just don’t understand the concept of HP per ton.
The devil unit at the end. 👿🚂
MG was closed as a continuous Block, Interlocking, and Train Order Station in November 1978. However, it was kept in operating condition until the completion of the CTC project in the mid-1990s. Around fifty days a year, usually during maintenance season, the tower would be reopened to provide operating flexibility when tracks were taken out of service for work. The last reopening was probably during the Gallitzin Tunnel realignment. The area was kept secure until not too long ago, so that helped keep things in good shape. I always thought it interesting that PRR build such a beautiful brick structure in the middle of nowhere (and the middle of WWII) when a simple concrete block building would have done the job just as well. I guess bricks and bricklayers weren't "strategic assets" according to the War Production Board.
I've been there. My reaction to this video was exactly the same as everyone else's: Why the heck would anyone use only one engine through Horseshoe Curve to pull THAT train. How many decades of trains /experience on this curve????????
The first engine was YRC 1549
WTF...One Unit !
They should have kept AR, or Alto open as the very last of the last towers. It wouldn't have hurt NS abit to give that little nod to history.
Conrail was the one who closed AR in 1995. I heard part of what doomed Alto was that trains were getting too long to attach helpers there. In any event, NS wanted to cut a few jobs.
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont Ok thanks. Anyway it's too bad both Conpanies had more interest in Shareholder return than a small nod to history. Wouldn't hurt them one bit.
@@b3j8 I could understand (if not like) why towers were closed in favor of CTC out on the mainline. What never made sense to me was why "terminal" towers such as ALTO were closed in favor of a remote dispatcher. And I am sure the Allegheny Dispatcher has plenty to do without letting a yard engine get through WORKS or HOMER for the tenth time this shift. It all comes down to job cuts.
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont Yep, just to save a buck. However I believe we may see things change here more in favor of the shipper than Wall Street in the near future. Time will tell I guess.
@@b3j8 Perhaps a little late, but I should point out that every tower required a minimum of five operators to staff it: First Trick, Second Trick, Third Trick, Relief Operator (covered the others' days off except for usually one of the Third Trick shifts) and at least one Extra Operator to cover that one shift plus other vacation and sick days. Most boards back in the day had multiple extra operators to work around the division to keep things covered. It gets a little more involved than just saving a buck.
He needs helpers bad.
I knew I should put another unit on that stalled train, it may have made up the grade.😂😂😂😂
Bye skyrider
No thanks to Amtrak. They wanted to get rid of the building over ten years ago and reduce the Lancaster Station to a platform.
Who's the dummy who sent the train out without enough locos. No wonder they have so many derailments.
Seems like I remember reading something about a wye existing in the Delta area. Those foundation blocks appear to curve in the opposite direction as the trestle to form the other leg of the wye. I was up in Delta back in 1970 and walked around to the trestle from where the old Delta station had been. I have a few photos I took back then. The track was still being regularly used and went south as far as Whiteford. There was a turntable in Delta as well although didn't appear it had been used for years.
What happens when a train stalls on Horseshoe Curve? "Helpers finally show up..." Cameraman doesn't show so-called "Helpers" Idiot!
Who makes the decision on how many locomotives / train configurations?
I'm curious as to why Northfolk Southern sent this coal train up the grade with only one locomotive and expected it to make it. You don't often see a single unit at the head of a coal train on flat land let alone trying to climb a hill.
Nice video, I'm going to visit really soon. Thanks!!
Thank you for showing us this historic landmark on the Pennsylvania Railroad !
Where can I find this in delta?
Great video and footage I just subscribed to your channel that Trestle bridge is pretty old it would be nice to see trains running across this someday but this whole Bridge would have to be replaced if that were to happen if there's a chance that no trains run on this again would it become a bike trail
