Misty Mountain Hop Monday
It's a somber early Spring 2019 morning in Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. Signal crews had an outage in the morning to remove signals East of Altoona, including the popular steam-era signal bridge at Tipton, PA, but there was some elation as the Norfolk Southern F units were to run west over Horseshoe Curve and spin the business train before heading towards Harrisburg on the former Pennsylvania Railroad Middle Division. The freshly-repainted and renumbered F9 rebuilds are passing the doomed pot signal protecting the loop track here as AR Tower slowly rots away in the distance. By the following year the F units would be sold off in pairs to Reading & Northern and Aberdeen Carolina & Western.
