This shot was taken in Juanita, Penna where there is lots of action, and a huge repair shop. It used to be the home for the Pennsylvania Railroad, once the largest railroad in the world!
Today we took a ride to the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, and IF you don't wish to hoof it up to the top of the mountain via the stairs to watch the trains wind their way around the famous curve, you can ride aboard the funicular. It goes up every half hour, and will get you up to the top and you will not even be out of breath. LOL
As one car comes down, another goes up, and they pass by in the middle.
Once at the top looking East down into the valley of Altoona, Pennsylvania. If the leaves weren't on the trees, you could see the trains actually driving from one side of this mountain range to the other side. The water you can see is just one of 2 lakes of water supply for the city of Altoona.
For some reason I'm having trouble posting tonight. I don't know if it's the wireless here at the B&B or what, but everything is loading so slow, so I'm not going to post any more. I have lots more pictures, and will put them on for Sunday.

Great, it is so nice to see you both having fun!
My internet is like what you are coping with all the time

Enjoy your vacation.
