Altoona, PA. Nickel Plate Road No. 765 Steam Engine 5/18/2013

These photo's were taken outside of the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum. The train was running a trip around Horseshoe Curve and back for the employees of Norfolk Southern Railroad and their families.

The train approaching.

Lots of smoke! Getting ready to pull out of the platform.

Passing under the bridge I was standing on.

Sitting picking up the passengers.

This Pennsylvania Railroad diesel was pushing the train. On the way back from Horseshoe Curve this engine was leading.

This caboose is parked outside of the museum.

Inside the caboose. Very roomy. A lot bigger than it looks from the outside.

This 1955 EMD GP9 is sitting along Horseshoe Curve. It replaced a steam locomotive in 1986.
