The Johnstown Incline Plane is the world's steepest vehicular incline plane. It's an awesome ride, but it's a shame the view is lousy.

Grand Ol Flag

 


This is the flag that sits atop the Incline Plane. On a clear, windy day, it can be seen from at least 4 miles in the distance.

Stone Bridge

 


This is the historic Stone Bridge in Johnstown. It is supposed to be revamped in a year or 2 with a new facade and new lighting. Many trains cross on the tracks in a day enroute to Pittsburgh and points West.

I don't quite remember when I took this picture as I found it my archives today.

Reflections

 


This lovely fall foliage picture was taken at the Quemahoning Dam. We are so lucky to live in an area with awesome fall foliage.

The first picture is the front and the second is the back side of the Staple Bend Tunnel. It is in Mineral Point, PA. It was once used as a tunnel for trains, now it is just a tourist attraction. To get to it requires a 2 mile walk, 1 way. I wasn't disappointed after the 4 mile trek.
