Horseshoe Curve,  Altoona, PA

"Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 9 of Clearfield recently rode Amtrak’s The Pennsylvanian from Altoona to Johnstown.  Scouts also studied the history of the Horseshoe Curve and the South Fork Dam in Johnstown.  The rail trip was part of a requirement for the Railroading merit badge."
