Amtrak around Horseshoe Curve

[propmeup1]

Anyone know approx the time Amtrak comes down the hill around the curve on a Saturday ?  Week days is around 9:45am

Thanks,

I just did a quick train tracker on Amtrak.com and it looks like it arrives in Altoona around 10am.

I'd figure it's probably 10-20 minutes earlier than that that it's around the curve.

You can always verify with the Virtual Railfan camera too:

In fact, I did just that and confirmed it.

So there ya go! That was today, at least.

Thanks Ed, I didn't know if the weekend time would be the same as week day .  I'll be there Sat morning waiting for it to come down the hill.

I wasn't sure either, but thank goodness Amtrak is easy to track. Their tracking stuff makes railfanning the NEC almost TOO easy!
