This trip to the Pittsburgh Line during wintertime was a last minute decision after having to abandon my initial plan to railfanning in the southeast (haven't been down there since the pandemics) due to the massive flight cancellations going on during the Christmas holiday (mine included - cancelled, re-booked and cancelled again). Fortunately, there were rooms available at Gallitzin's Tunnel Inn so I was able to still plan A railfanning trip.

In exchange for the shorter day-times (train action was not too busy and only got busier during evening and night hours), I did manage to shoot some videos using the freshly fallen snow as well as an awesome sunset when a train did show up.

Anyway, I stated for two full days on the west slope and worked my way east on the third day, therefore stay tuned for the day 2 video!
