@11:35 MG Tower, one of my favorite places. Spent a lot of time camping out above the tower in the early 80's. Tower operators back then would let us in for visits and talks. Thanks Again for this series and sharing!
NS6677 What track does the westbound Amtrak usually go on around the Curve? I have always wanted to see it there, but reluctant to try fearing it might be blocked by another train.
Flyin' down the West Slope! This is a Great vid of the mighty Pennsy thru the mountain! Thanks for posting!
So relaxing; almost hypnotizing - a real treat

7:37 How long was that detector voice used for before they replaced it with the Micro Talker they use at 241 today?
Several years. And for a while, Track 2 used two different voices at the same time, although relayed one after another.
Is there a new detector at 241?
@CSXno601 voice was replaced in August of 2010
since tcs has been installed amtrak can use any of all 3 tracks in both directions.
That was cool. Thanks.
how many hours does it to travel from ny penn station to Pittsburgh's train station
9 hours and 15 minutes approximately.
The Altoona Station is MUCH nicer than that house trailer they had back in the 60's, 70's and 80's!
Looks like they tore out slope intrelocking.
Why can't you see Horseshoe Curve in this video?
Its seen at 8:40. Couldn't move the camera without screwing up the picture.

+SantaFe19484 late reply, usually the middle, unless no westbounds in the area, then 3.
