Text Box: SHUTTLETRAIN�S WANDERINGS

��

Horseshoe Curve is a bowl like part of the mountain where the Norfolk Southern hugs the side of the mountain near Altoona, PA. Horseshoe was on the radar of the Nazi�s, they tried to blow it up during the war. The park is well kept by the Railroaders Museum. There is a admission charged plus a restoration fee that is collected upon entering. Some railfans don�t like the charge and wish that the area stayed free like the old days. I like the layout, but, I too think that the area should be maintained as a free area. Below are some of the shots that we took on a recent visit.

That�s just a taste of the Curve, you will have to explore it for yourself soon. My wanderings will continue soon.
