Loyalhanna Dam was outside Saltsburgs on route 981. We really like checking out dams. It is amazing how they hold back all that water and provide electric. This dam forms Loyalhanna Lake and Recreation area. It looked pretty old.
The Gallitzin Tunnels are in Gallinburg. We stopped to wait for the train. We waited until the moon rose, till the sky grew dark and the streetlights came on. A freight train came clickety clack down the track.
Drove down to Horseshoe Bend and spent the night hoping to hear trains. We were not disappointed. While watching our movie we jumped up eight times to watch the spotlight of the engine light up the trees as it chugged along pulling its cars filled with coal or freight. The song of breaks squealing echoes as the train makes it around Horseshoe Bend. The visitor center is across the street from us. We thought that we saw steps going up to the tracks, but our mega flashlight showed it to be a passenger incline. We climbed into bed, our own bed, and dreamed of train rides.
