6/24/09: About a half hour after I got off of 07T (Amtrak train #43, the westbound Pennsylvanian), I was immediately greeted with the presence of my favorite locomotive in the world, the still-blue SD40-2, the NS 3347, as she headed light down the hill towards Altoona with her consecutively numbered sister unit, the 3346. About an hour and a half later, the HUGE 21T stacker rolled into Toona-Town, and needed assistance up the hill, where by some crazy stroke of luck, the 3347 was the helper that answered the 21T's call!! The rest is just about priceless. Sweetlight? Tonnage? Big Blue? 645's? Thats what an evening on the East Slope is all about, and you couldn't beat that if you tried.
