Trains With Manned Helpers On Horseshoe Curve, Pennsylvania; Amtrak & Norfolk Southern Trains In Pa.

Norfolk Southern Trains & Amtrak On The Hill. This Is Horseshoe Curve, Pennsylvania on the Pittsburgh Line. Long trains go almost all the way around you. Manned helper locomotives are used to get trains up the hill and are cut off at Altoona, Pennsylvania. There is also a funicular here but it is currently out of service. It is used to take people from the base of the hill to the top to watch the trains pass around the curve. Right now you have to walk the 194 steps to the top. Railfans come from all around the world to watch trains go around Horseshoe Curve. The main radio frequency changed to 160.875 from the old Conrail frequency.
This video features 6 trains on the hill including a light engine move and an Amtrak passenger train. The Amtrak train was running westbound after just leaving Altoona. Amtrak runs east in the morning and west in the evening. I stopped here on my way home from Strasburg. It had been a few years since I was here last and I discovered that NS changed the main road frequency since I was here last.
