I was in the area to photograph her, did not make it to the curve as it was packed. I got shots in Altoona and Huntington. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day but there was not much traffic.

I have to agree but the noise long before the train came into view was fantastic.

I'm suprised that they let anyone up there as the RR and watershed cops usually kick people out of all unauthorized areas on the "Curve" ... usually a location like that would have been mobbed ... and I did see like 12 people on/near the "Rock" in one video.

During one Presedential vist to the curve, a special viewing platform was located uphill from the curve at @ this location: http://www.post-gazette.com/images2/20040705ho_sylvania_horseshoePJ_580.jpg
