Expo Altoona!

[ReadingBob]

I had a great day out rail fanning with Reading Bob.  We photographed three trains on the Horse Shoe Curve - visited Raymo's secret rail fanning spot and watched a couple trains come through the tunnel before Horse Shoe Curve - someone will have to help me with the name of the tunnel - I had trouble saying the name let alone spelling it.  We ended the day with a very good Italian dinner with Dr. Jeff who flew all the way out here - with connections in Detroit - on a POP Tart for breakfast. Now that's dedication.  So far a good EXPO - tomorrow we get to spend some money.  I need to to get my rest - Raymo's clinic is a 8 AM tomorrow.

The Gallitzin Tunnel.    We saw two trains come out of the tunnnel.  John failed to mention we had to wait a bit at the curve but when we saw the three trains we saw them all at the same time. 

Dannys clinic was great this morning.  Time to go check out the contest room.

Our own Groovy Jeff had a fascinating clinic on laser cutting. We love the kits...this was a chance to see "behind the curtain."

Hey Bob, was wondering if you were at the curve at the same time....I was there around ten....caught three trains....westbound freight, eastbound freight and followed right behind an eastbound Amtrak.
