Horseshoe Curve

[Mark_LD]

In 2004 there was a train that was used only once for the 150th anniversary of Horseshoe Curve in Altoona Pennsylvania. I am wondering if anyone has recreated this train or event.

I am not sure, but there are many Horseshoe Curve routes in development.

Thanks, I was the leader of the team that did the event and would like to see how it turns out here...

Bet it looked better in person, but the night time photography without a tripod is totally terrible

I've was there and I know what it looked like LIVE, I would like to see how it was done in the program, Thank you for the video, also if you watch the video, the first moving light you see that isn't on but still moving, the reason there was no light was because there was a 4' flame coming out of the side of it. We couldn't put out the fire till the train was in place and completely stopped. There is a lot more to the story that no one but the team that was there....

Again thanks for the video. Also if anyone is interested I have pictures of the build
