- Railfans love train meets, especially when they happen at scenic locations like Horseshoe Curve! This perfectly-timed train meet during the fall of 2019 included NS 8025, the Monongahela heritage unit, as a rear DPU.
Horseshoe Curve in Altoona, Pennsylvania, is one of the best places to watch trains in the country! It is not uncommon for 50 or more Norfolk Southern trains to pass the Curve every day, as well as The Pennsylvanian (Amtrak trains 42 and 43). There is a Virtual Railfan webcam at the rail park, allowing railfans to watch live railroad action at all times and further increasing the popularity of the rail park!
Horseshoe Curve is part of Norfolk Southern's busy Pittsburgh Division. Westbound trains heading out of nearby Altoona, PA, climb the steep grade until they reach the summit of the Allegheny Mountains at Cresson. Eastbound trains are on the downward grade as they pass Horseshoe Curve on their way into Altoona.

Terrific catches/meet!
Amazing "Birds Eye" view.
Sir David !! GREAT Drone footage & Thanks for sharing !!! Again also Great to see the CABLE TRAM running & That coal train looked like 1 that goes to the Power Plant North of Altoona & has the rotating knuckles on the cars so that the train can be unloaded without having to separate the cars !!! Saw that on the History Channel --Extreme Trains !! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""
With video like this we'll need a control tower at The Curve to manage drone traffic. Interesting video. Thanks.
Haha true! There have been a few times where I've been at Horseshoe Curve with my drone and seen someone else flying their drone too! Like you said, we need air traffic control. 😂 I usually just try to tell them where I'm going to be flying and keep an eye on where their drone is when I'm flying.
Are they ever going to pick up the cars from that wreck Last Summer? How much money is laying in that ditch
$30k in scrap, $100k to recover it. You do the math.
