Take it past Harrisburg through the Horseshoe Curve - one of the
most spectacular examples of civil engineering in the nation.

Sufficiently fantastic to its’ own Wikipedia entry.

That does look like a nice RR ride.

My dad used to take me on the train from Pittsburgh to Atlantic City years ago. (no gambeling then).

"Places are to be remembered how you experienced them....Ben Franklin."

I have been fortuniate to be on trains in several places in this world. We are not even close to them in service and speed. Such a shame.

Eisenhower decided we needed roads, not trains. As great as he was, that was a mistake. As I take I95 to see my daughter tomorrow I will be reminded of that.
