Amazing at around 10:40 how what was a very open area completely filled in the trees & vegetation. That was where that PRR branch line connected with the main. It was open and that former RAW was driveable access to the curve from the highway that ran under the curve back in the mid 80's.
You got Main 3 over the Curve... coolness! I could watch this all day and all night (although I prefer head end just because the engineers sometimes talk about the area, etc.) but this is awesome. Thanks for sharing!! I am hoping to go to the Curve this summer!
Now and again Amtrak goes Main 1 West around the Curve and over the summit on the Steep main by AR Tower as well nowadays. Sounds good. Enjoy yourself!
Ain't that the sad truth. NS just demolished Leipsic Tower out at the Fostoria District and CSX Toledo Sub crossing and that has been empty since 94 as far as I know.
I want you to know that as a vet with some PTSD issues, your videos are a Big
help to me. Great job as always and ty very much!
Why do you think they are a big help? I would personally love to know, if you don't mind me asking?
@@NS6677 I think it's because it's like meditation. Constant, relaxing stream
Thank you for the series of videos. Wonderful to see the line, particularly the otherwise inaccessible parts.

Nicely done. Great shots of Horseshoe Curve and the tunnel at Gallitzin.
Very interesting effect from 48:10 to 1:00:24. A long loop of this would be entertaining.
I like this some real nice vid of the east slope.
And it shows a bunch of the spots that I train watch at.
What happened to the Rockville Bridge?
And Lewistown??
This is part 6 of the series. Did you notice the P6 in the title?
@@NS6677 No! I didn't.
did you find the rest of the videos?
@@NS6677 Yes.
excellent!
Are there plans to preserve alto tower
There are no plans in the works from what I have heard. But if people want to, they better move quickly. Place is slowly deteriorating
@@NS6677 dang
Been closed for almost 7 years now. No one cleaning the structure or anything so it's only a matter of time.
When did you record this?
9/16/16
At 2:11, Long Live ALTO! (At least, until it collapses in on itself the way AR is doing at the top of the hill.)
