nice job again BJ!!! cool horn on the Ex: Con What was it!! 2 Long slow intermodals get kinda boring after the engines go by. Cool K5LA on the 2nd intermodal. WOW the 1st intermodal stopped!!! wonder why? At 5:42 look at the smoke coming out of the tunnel!!! it really isnt common for a train to stop in the tunnel wonder why thats a nice catch there! at 8:47 THATS AN AMAZING VIEW OF THAT CATCH!!!!! nice catch with 1 of the lights burnt out lol only if there was a shave and a haircut from it!!!!!!
The tunnel the 2 trains are in in the video, was once single track, and the other tunnel, was primarily the second bore. As you can tell, The railroad previous of Norfolk Southern (Ie: Conrail) Shut the tunnel down due to clearance restrictions. It'd be nice to see that tunnel in service again, but the amount of traffic through that area, and the cost to enlarge the tunnel for double stack cars, is too great to re-justify its use.
yea i know but i known that Amtrak Discontinued the 3 Rivers to Altoona Philly and New York i believev now it runs on the NS Conemaugh Line and heads to Cinninnati or Cleveland idk exactly but then it goes to Chicago and possibly 1 more city before returning
huh so now they're running 5 Amtrak Cars instead of 4 thats neat and that isnt the daily 3 Rivers Express that just the Daily train to Altoona and back
@iceman977th Unfortunately, NS won't justify the cost of that project. When an area has even traffic flows as it is, with little or no bottlenecks, then there really is no reason to open up the second bore once more. The dispatcher, where ever it he/she/they are located seem to have a pretty effective system of managing trains through Galliztin tunnels. Anyway, to enlarge the second bore would cause for delays in the traffic control of the already double track bore while work was in progress.
The Amtrak train was the westbound Pennsylvanian between NYC and Pittsburgh

Gallitzin is amazing
Just to the right of this shot on the "bluff" overlooking the tracks is the Tunnel Inn. It's right on top of all the action.

Whats the story with the tunnel to the left?
AWSOME VID, 5***** and faved.
Shortly after this, they cemented up the old tunnel entrance.
Cool.
that NS GE unit sounds like it had some engine knock
I went there last weekend

@CountVonBoco Why enlargen it? Just limit it to general merchandise, coal & passenger use. That's what I never got about it...
Funny how the train squeaks by (::)

How many teeth you think this guy has in his head? LOL 2:44
@CountVonBoco Yeah, you do have a point, but there's always a rare chance to catch 3 trains at one time, which is always good. Lol
@redsoxfan423 Well also the Museum to
You sure don't sound like a native to PA lol.
