Summary of the Altoona trip, 12-30-2014

On the 30th of December 2014, some of us took a trip to Altoona. We paid a visit to the famous Horseshoe Curve, the footbridge in downtown Altoona and then to a crossing in Cresson. We saw a lot of trains and had a lot of fun. While at the curve, we found out the the NS veterans Unit, NS6920, was on her way east. We caught the 6920 at the crossing in Cresson, and then chased it to Altoona and beat it there by quite a bit. She then passed by us and we were getting ready to head out afterwards when this helper pair rolled by and gave us a great show and a great way to end the trip.
