Title: Snow on the West Slope
Post by: E.M. Bell on March 22, 2007, 10:08:14 PM
After a brief jaunt into Altoona PA on Saturday 03/17/07, GW and myself worked back to the West over the Mountain towards South Fork PA. Here are a few of the catches..

NS 9244 on a Eastbound at Lilly PA. The snow was a lot more intense in the higher elevations above Altoona.

I was thinking the exact same thing, Mike.  Those 80MACs surely do have an interesting look on the rear end.
