Welcome to Rail Road City! (Altoona, PA)

Sightseeing

At its height during World War II, as many as 250 trains would pass through the Horseshoe Curve each day. So important was the Horseshoe Curve to the American war effort that it was a target of Nazi saboteurs who landed in the US in 1942. A freight train travels through the famous Horseshoe Curve in Altoona. This is a great place for individuals, dates, and families. It has a small museum at the base of the mountain, and then you can either climb the stairs or take the incline to the top. I never realized how few inclines are in the world until I started to travel. They can make historic educational trip more fun for children. It is a nice place to bring a picnic and watch the trains.
