Horshoe Curve & Altoona, PA with Lunch

The Horseshoe Curve is a three-track railroad curve on Norfolk Southern Railway's Pittsburgh Line in Blair County, Pennsylvania. The curve is roughly 2,375 feet (700 m) long and 1,300 feet (400 m) in diameter. Completed in 1854 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a way to reduce the westbound grade to the summit of the Allegheny Mountains, it replaced the time-consuming Allegheny Portage Railroad,
which was the only other route across the mountains for large vehicles.
The curve was later owned and used by three Pennsylvania Railroad
successors: Penn Central, Conrail, and Norfolk Southern.

The Railroaders Memorial Museum (RMM) is a railroad museum in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The museum focuses on the history of railroad workers and railroad communities in central Pennsylvania, particularly Altoona, the Altoona Works, and the greater Pittsburgh area.[1][2] Since 1998, the museum has been located in the Master Mechanics Building, built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1882.[3] The museum also operates a separate museum, visitor center, and observation area at the Horseshoe Curve.[4][5]
