Last weekend, I took time off from model railroading to "rail fan" at the Horseshoe Curve area in Pennsylvania and ride the NKP 765 steam excursion. It was a day-long event, going from Lewiston, PA, through Altoona, around the Curve, and through the tunnels at Gallitzin, and back. Great weather, HUGE crowds, loads of fun. The 17-car train had the 765 on the point, with Norfolk Southern Heritage units - Pennsylvania and Conrail - along for an assist. One of the highlights for friends David James and his father Hank, Ken Heyl and me was a stop for water in the middle of Works, the huge engine facility in Juniata Yard in Altoona.
