Check out Grandview Cemetery in Johnstown sometime. It is huge and flood victims are buried in one plot. In Westmont. At maximum, Altoona had 110,000 population just within city limits. Medical helicopters at UPMC Altoona Hospital - trauma center.
Beautiful back drop off the bridge
Altoona was the railroad capitol of the world at one time
Such. A. Big. Place. And. The. Roads. Our. Quite. Where. I. Live. Always. Busy. Thank. You. For. The. Tour
I lived in that area for two years. I enjoyed my job there but didn't care for the rest of Altoona. But I would walk through this cemetery with my dog. From what I read, family members paid an annual fee and since no one can be buried there anymore, and the surviving ancestors of the dead have either forgotten about the graves, means there's no more money coming into this cemetery for upkeep/maintenance. It's all based on volunteers can to keep the upkeep on the cemetery. A couple of months ago I was walking my dog through the cemetery, a tree was blown over from a storm and uplifted a grave exposing a rotten casket, I peeked in briefly.
Neeleys Lionel store moved to a new location in the city, still in business though and next to the Meuse us with the green awnings
I will have to add Altoona to my historic train places to visit.
I recommend it
You are at an Elway tomb and football player John Elway's grandfather played football at Altoona High School
Fairview cemetery behind the Altoona hospital
Triangle Park in Fostoria, OH is a great railfanning place!
Interesting cemetery….good video! Well done!
I have a old school buddy lives near there in Roaring Spring. Beautiful state, PA.
I love cemeteries
If u ever come to dayton ohio and have time .u should check out woodland cemetery.its were the wright brothers are at.and a lot of other famous people.it i want say 200 + year old and very big so much history there the even have book about the legends.it also a beautiful place so many mausoleums some are very old and big.The haunted history is worth the trip alone.
Before moving right there, the university paid for our trip in May to visit the and scope out the area. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. We just knew that my husband accepted a job offer there and needed a place and found a place off of Lexington Ave. We came with a big dog and two cats. And needed a place before the university started. I had no clue that street was so drug ridden. I did as much research as I could before we moved across the country. Even our landlord was surprised we moved to that area. We just had no idea about the area. In a couple of days...we found out how bad it was.
Beautiful house
Altoona bumped Erie from 3rd largest city in PA
i can't believe you can read the tomb stones from the 1800s amazing
Last time I went walking up behind the graveyard, a loose dog chased me into someone's yard. Then, the owner came out and yelled at me to get out of his yard. haha
We had another neighbor who abandoned her pets and we constantly called the police for help. The dogs survived apparently the cat and her kittens died. That was heart breaking. That place was covered in trash and mold. You would walk pass and smell the humidity. It was condemned but they were still living there.
Beautiful House
Love the live stream.
Look up LSF classic car meusem that you were 1 city block from your hotel owned by Leonard Fiore a local contractor who built the flight 93 memorial -9/11
The Greenville Ohio Cemetery is so old the graves have rerouted and you can see parts of coffins.
jay you should eat 2 sheetzdogs with mustard chili and diced onions and american cheese its really good
i lived close to altoona my mom actually took an amtrak train and went on the horsehsoe curve
Awesome
HI JP. I watched two videos on Altoona and also enjoyed your content. I've lived here for over 7 years and didn't even know that cemetery was there. I look forward to watching your horseshoe curve video.
I really like your videos.
This cemetery when.I lived there was never taken care of 😥 sad left the area 21 years ago things didnot change there
Thats too bad
Eu adorei o vídeo e o Cemitério de Altoona, também achei linda a Cidade de Altoona... Parabéns o apresentador do vídeo que é uma pessoa muito simpático!👍👏👏👏
Cool video JP!
-MEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN HUGE CEMENTARY. AMAZING VIEW. SOME ONE OR THE CITY TAKE AWAY THE DEAD TREES. THAT NOT TO BRIGHT.
Thanks Jay, that cemetery is awesome a person could get lost easily, I'll take your word on the trains lol . Always have fun with you
👍🙂
Hi jp I go over that bridge all the time it’s safe there not bad at all enjoy the city yes it’s full of train activity I mentioned it a while back on your Sunday night live
Im enjoying it here
Mat be those people were mowing/weed eating around family headstones.
I just had De javu
That was fun . That house is kind of creepy. Trains would be good , but I'm opening to what ever people say..
You are “roc’in” the calico beard!!
😲
Apparently the hospital beside the cemetery owns it and they are supposed to do upkeep. Theres been volunteers come in and do biweekly clean ups. Theres supposedly a guy works part time and tends the lawn..but hes also got a fulltime job too. Anyway, thats what i found.
A local said its been that condition for over a decade. Seems like they maintain it twice a year.
The prisoners take care of it when they are out on work duty
Altoona was home to Boyer Candies who made one of my favorite candies, Mallow Cup. It came 2 in a pack and had coin cards inside worth from 5 cents to $1.00 You could redeem them for more candy or small prizes. Maybe the plant is still there!
I drove by the plant a few times
what a great steam. i do so enjoy your channel
Thanks darlene
awesome!!!!
We had a train bridge collapse here in Az yesterday. With a train on it!! Look it up. Tempe Az. No one was hurt or killed thank god. (Freight train)
I saw video
I live on chestnut and the street sign said chestnut
Great video Jay!!! I enjoyed walking in the cemetery and looking at the head stones!!! I did catch most of the stream. Came back to watch the beginning that I missed!!! Loved seeing the train!!! Thank you for sharing Jay!!!
The next day i managed to catch 3 trains during my live stream.
@@JPVideos81 that is awesome 💙😊
Lost my womanhood to little Matt Pacifico in this cemetery near that Wertz tombstone 31:19
I live in Altona, I know where this cemetery is but never went through it. Didn't realize how large is is, in no big hurry to go to the cemetery or any other cemetery yet, but nice video.
It was surprisingly large
That must be a switching Yard or a Pick up area as it's pretty small yard. I feel like it's switching yard thank you for sharing. Sorry I missed the live Stream Just been pretty busy lately.
You might be right. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the great videos i couldn't get throw night shift with out ur videos😁
👍
My home town
Nice. I can't wait to return.
JP, you were in my late husband’s neck of the woods. I knew where you were. He was a train nut too.He was from Hollidaysburg just down the road from Altoona and we spent many a visit up there visiting either Altoona to see trains or visit the museum or going to see the Horseshoe Curve. His brother was a train nut too
You have very interesting content.
,
Nice video!!!
Thanks for watching
Either way!
It sucks they closed
My grandson is teaching me how to find my way around this phone and this TH-cam thing I told him I watched a couple of your videos the other night and asked him if he could help me to find out if you had any others because I thought you were a nice fella and I had fun watching. So the youngin says Mimi I think I better take a look see at this here fella and make sure his videos are okay for you to watch so mama don’t get after me for teaching you how to do all this stuff and I says to that boy you do know that I am her mama right? And I ain’t fixin to let her or anybody else tell me at my age what or who I am going to watch! Now please help me find that young fellas videos? So here I am! And really enjoying it he just came through shaking his head and asking me to please not watch any hubs something and I said we are not watching cars we are going to be watching trains! I truly don’t know what has gotten into the young ones of today but you gotta love the little rascals! Take care and thank you again sugar!
😊💙
You are in for a good time ....Jay is the best !.. ( from "granny" who had her little granddaughter set her up on-line : }
Barbara - Pigeon Bray Thank you Barbara! I am looking forward to it!
I can sit around and wait for a train tomorrow evening .I'll make a cup of coffee and relax .
👍
They're coming for you Barbara 💀1968 Night of The Living Dead .Filmed in Evan's City Cemetery ..Evan's City Pennsylvania
We have our own private parking area in the back to fit two fit two cars, on the second day of moving in, after coming back from dinner, there was a car in our parking lot. It was running, all the lights were on, driver door opened, and a lady slumped across the across the steering wheel. It wasn't like she was "tired and sleeping" she looked dead. I was like "oh no she OD!" We called the cops for a welfare check. They gave her narcan(which I didn't know anything about it) and she survived
You probably saved her life
Thanks for sharing, John. This brought back great memories of my days in Altoona as a boy. Born and raised there, I recall many things. Altoona is noted for his railroad history, high school state champion teams, hills, churches, and bars. The city is the home of Sheetz's markets. The Sheetz you passed is built on the site of the former Cricket Field where many baseball and football games were played in my grade school years. Babe Ruth played an exhibition game and hit a home run almost to the Altoona Hospital (now UPMC Altoona) on the hill. The helicopter was probably bringing a trauma case to the hospital. I never walked through the Fairview Cemetery. It's very appealing with its old markers and eerie look. William F. Gable, the founder of Gables Department Store, a city landmark for many years, is buried there. The Find a Grave site indicates there are 13, 914 memorials added to their site. There are probably many more not added to the Find a Grave website. The old vault serves the Ferguson, Elway, and Hamlin, families. The big corner building across from the beautiful historic home was the Howard Avenue Armory in my youth. We played rec basketball there. The McCartney building was the premier office supply store long before Staples and Office Max. The large brick building beside the train store (still open and relocated in the city) was the home of the Altoona Mirror newspaper. I went there 6 days a week for a couple of years to pick up newspapers to deliver. My dad took my brothers and me to watch trains on the old 17th Street bridge as well as at the Horseshoe Curve. After college graduation, I moved to the Harrisburg area, but my family and I have returned numerous times to visit family members.
Thanks so much for sharing
Very cool graveyard ! I love the bigger older cemeteries like this one. We use to bring big sheets of paper and do grave rubbings. Its really sad to see that the city doesn't take care of the cemetery very well !
Love the cemetery
Always enjoy your railroad videos! Sorry I missed the live feed!
That’s how rail-fanning is, like fishing. A million fish biting until you break out the rod and reel!
If you go to Erie on Peninsula rs on way to beach you will pass a McDonald's across the street is a stone for the grave Hamburger
What a good video...liked seeing the city and the trains and the cemetery. Looking forward to tomorrow...have a nice nite..
😊
The dodge city of the east
My Grandmotherwqs boen March 4th 1901 she died a month before her 101st birthday
Nice video
Ty
Went to Mount Moriah last fall. Ended up running into a volunteer who is helping to clean it up. He was there to meet a group that he was supposed to take on a tour, but they never showed up. He asked if we wanted a tour, and we said sure! He took us on a decently long tour and we got so much info! Spent hours there taking pictures. The side with all the mausoleums was beautiful!
Awesome 👍
Hello
It would be good to know the address of the place (maybe bridge name) that you're broadcasting from!....and show it on a map?
Hi jp videos I would think that you could spend atleast a day in that cemetery. And only get half way around the place. Stephen Hall uk
I think you're right
Awesome video ! I am late again tonight. Altoona- Overcast, city, trains, mountains etc... Cool!
i live here home town have not moved bc im a child also your near my house
I I'm from Altoona pa
I'm here now!
A month before we moved in ( wish I found this one out)there was a man that molested a child in our alley and abandoned the child. Police were looking for him and the child. Found the child injured and in the brush. If I knew all this, I wouldn't have moved there. We wanted to break our lease and get the F out but then COVID-19 happened a couple of months later forcing us to stay
I enjoyed the Altoona video very much. I was born in Norristown, Pa. and lived in Pa. 45 years prior to moving to West Virginia in 1997. Your travels come close to my heart. Thank you for all you do. I like your personality very much. I am a constant. Happy, safe travels.
👍😊💙
Nice live stream. Hated seeing all the disrepair that cemetery was in. Really enjoyed seeing the windows of that train store. Stay safe.
My Mom was from Sproul PA near Bedford. My family there go to Altoona often.
What? DQ in Texas is awesome!!! Cheese curds? Since when does DQ offer cheese curds? They offer awesome burgers and tacos!!!
That is my Nephews house
It's a beautiful place
Thank you
Guess I missed the live stream. I do not get notifications but at least I can watch the show. “I do love me some trains”.
Always a great time. Trains are the best. Was driving home w the wife n dog. Keep them coming. Safe travels sir...
Loved the walk & the visit to the cemetery, I did wonder what those people were up too.
Love the Lionel storefront!!!!! Brings back old memories!!!
Allegheny Street in hollidaysburg has beautiful Victorian homes, well worth a visit . However I have not lived there since 1990 I imagine that the historical homes would still remain intact but would be curious to see the businesses on the main Street.
What time tomorrow?
This was on Thursday...
People stand on the 17th street bridge all the time and film trains. Nothing unusual. Lol. I see you were at the 8th Street bridge.
Being my first time there, i wasnt familiar with how common it is.
JPVideos yeah so don’t feel weird about it. Lol. But the 17th st bridge is better. Or you can go down toward the Juniata section of town. There is a bridge in that area.
Looking forward to seeing your videos of Centre County. My grandpa grew up there. His people settled there in 1730.
Horshue Curve?? We have a small town nestled in the hills outside of Boise called Horseshue Bend, down in the valley surrounded by mountains and a river called the Payette (North Fortk) running through it. We also have Middle Fork and South Fork of the Payette. Great Kayaking, best in the nation. God Bless my Idaho!!! And God Bless your Pennsylvania!!
What r rhose mountains?
I think those people may have been geocaching. Following your trail and looking at the cache map it seems like there is one near there.
Thank you.... JP .... for the "Great Escapes". These will live on forever...and for our children also. Love the FORD. ⚡
Lost my breathe as you walked thru the cemetery gate.... And it's so beautiful....💫
Hey Cassandra! Its my pleasure to share these places. Next time, come take a tour with me.
JPVideos - Will do.. thank you
Hamlin
👍 ❤️
I grew up just south of there! If you're ever out that way train watching this site has a lot of info, although all the older RR signals have been replaced.
www.parailfan.com/guides.php
There are also two towers AR & MG west of the Horseshoe Curve that will be demolished soon, AR is in Galitzin, MG unfortunately is not accessible.
You can view the turn table at the shops at 40.536778,-78.380784 just east of the bridge you are on.
👍
That would have been funny if it was locked lol
Another great video, JP. Thank you and have a great time !!
Would love a Friday nite livestream . This was an awesome tour .So many things to like ! The brick sidewalk , the great view off the hillltop.., the petunias : } and the really "strange" house ...loved it all .. Lots of fun , Jay . See ya tomorrow night . ..Stay safe !
Stay cool and safe. Heard a big storm is headed your way.
Awesome! My sons lived in Centre County, Port Matilda, PA.
Altoona is not far! ❤👍
👍
What a nice little jaunt around Altoona. Pity and a shame to see such a quaint ol cemetery some what neglected.
I can't believe that you are here in Altoona. I can't believe I missed you. The neighborhood that your in is horrible. I hope that you are careful.
I'm still here. Ive been in worse neighborhoods lol
@@JPVideos81 Just be careful and safe. There is a lot of very interesting things to see here and I know that you will have some great content. I'm looking forward to your point of view, although it would have been cool to meet you.
