Altoona Railfest 2009

I recently posted several video clips from Railfest in Altoona yesterday including many through freights and the restored PRR E8 Excursions.

Nice work!! Is this an annaul event? Where do the E8's run to and from?

Yah, nice videos. It doesn't seem like there was the typical mass confusion of railfans this year as in years past. I've seen a few photos at the curve, and it looks like a typical any other day. You can actually see daylight through the people. Was the turnout pretty thin this year, or did the photogs/videogs just do a better job of not shooting the crowd?
