A colleague of mine has an extra 1st class ticket for Saturday's Altoona trip w/765 that he is looking to "re-purpose". Please PM me if interested.

Does anyone have any information as to whether the custodians of Horse Shoe Curve are charging $20 per person to go trackside to watch 765 this time around, like the did last year?

Here's my video from this past weekend - you can definitely hear 765 working hard uphill on the grades in/around Altoona. Turn up the audio, enjoy the sights and sounds of mainline steam in the east!

It is $20.00. A few of us paid it last Sunday.

Interesting discussion about the fee, with comments from Rich Melvin:

Having just watched Big Jim's video, and upon news that both the PRR diesel and the Conrail diesel are running behind the 765 out of Enola to Lewistown and Cresson:

Only if they let me, and dozens of others, bring chainsaws with us. Sorry.

Well, I must say that you guys at the FWRHS put on an amazing show this weekend! I was astounded by the sights and sounds of your beautiful locomotive, and... well... it was awesome! Plain and simple. Now for you guys, I have a video that I filmed and produced over the weekend of the first special to the curve, so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ietQAaudhb4 enjoy!
