We have nearly 1,000 shows - and all will eventually be uploaded to YouTube. Subscribe so you don't miss any of the rail action.
*About this show:* Settle into the best seat in the house, above the action! Never see a telephone pole in your way again. :-) This all-drone show couples action from the air with the growl and horns from the ground, so it's the best of both worlds. There's no narration, but on-screen graphics provide train symbols, information and locations on the line. The sound is turn-it-up good.
We'll see Horseshoe Curve, Gallitzin, Tyrone, South Fork and more. And the backdrop to all of this action is the most beautiful fall color. At Horseshoe Curve, the view from the air mimics the old postcards of the curve. Up in the air, or in the air, but level with the trains, or across a valley – you really get to place the trains in the scenery and see the geography that dictated the route.
