The Horseshoe Curve is a perfect example of what humanity can do when they put their minds to it.

It is a perfect example of an elegant engineering solution to a difficult problem. If you cannot go over it, and you cannot go through it, just go around it, and do it in a grand way.

When we pulled up, we were lucky to see two trains enter the curve, one from each direction. A sight to see, but the real delight is at the top of the hill, watching the trains, up close and personal, as they screeched their wheels and chugged on by, whistling a hello to all.

We had to wait some time before the third train came by, but it was worth the wait. If you are busy or have little children, who cannot wait, talk to the staff. They have a train schedule and you can be entertained in the museum while waiting.

I got off the highway for no reason. There was nothing to see here but snow. It seemed like there was a lot of black ice on the road that leads up to the place too. Really even nowhere to pull off to take a peek at anything. I was able to snap a couple pics from my car. I'm not even sure this is worth a trip even during nice weather. I guess one of the selling points of the place is you get to see a lot of trains off in the distance in all directions chugging along against a beautiful landscape. Scarred nature doesn't really sound all that appealing to me though. The river was frozen over for the most part, and it was a dark and gray day. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut as I probably came the worst day of the year.

I live in Las Vegas. I watch this live on You Tube. Have always been a train affectinado. I watch it at all hours. The park is well kept. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state. I lived near Wylausing in my younger years. But the desert is my home now. I enjoy watching the wildlife that comes out at night. I enjoy watching it snow. I want to thank the railfan club for the opportunity of watching the many trains that run the loop everyday. But for the people or persons that intentionally drop cats off in the area in the winter where there is no food. Is there not a animal shelter in close proximity? In case there are people that think I am a lunatic I went to the New Albany Elementary School. And I lived in Evergreen until I was eight. Anyway I love watching the trains and may we all have a good life.

Visited this historic landmark and enjoyed the displays and exhibits in the entrance hall, where a short video gives interesting information about the site. Normally, visitors can take a funicular to the lofty observation platform where they can see a beautiful view of the valley and lake below. In another direction you can watch trains making their way around the bend going both uphill and down. Unfortunately , the funicular is in the process of being maintained so you'll have to walk a lengthy flight of steps and staircase to get to the obsevation platform.

If you love trains you know why you want to visit. For those complaining, no they don’t know when the trains will be coming around the curve, freight trains don’t run on a set schedule. We waited about a hour the day two westbound trains, two east bound plus three engines alone eastbound.

Yes it know cost a few dollars to make the long walk up the hill over the funicular when it’s running) but that also covers the little museum there.

Thought we were going to what I thought was just going to be some railroad tracks in a U shape on the mountain. What a surprise it was when we climbed 180+ steps (funicular was closed due to Covid) and saw not one but two trains pass while we were there. An excellent stop for train buffs.

Museum only open Wednesday-Sunday due to COVID. But trains can be seen throughout any day. Just have to wait about 30 minutes between to see them on the horseshoe curve. Pretty place anyway. Worth the trip there.

We stopped on a Tuesday morning and everything was closed, even the parking lots were chained. Too bad when a great place with it's history is unavailable. Don't know if I will ever try this place again.

They refuse to run the incline due to COVID and large crowds. Don’t enforce masks when leaving gift store. You have to climb steps-174 and if you have any difficulty in walking then this is not for you. I have trouble with both my knees and had braces on for support . It was just too much for me and seeing all the people not wearing masks or distancing themselves just turned me off.

TRAIN buffs paradise. We were lucky to see a couple trains go by. One was bout 130 cars long. Nice picnic type area, some people packed lunches, while they waited on trains. Lots of hard work went into building the curve.
