Posted by Terry Tabb on March 6, 2006  Three different moving trains in one shot, WOW. Posted by George W. Hamlin on March 6, 2006  Neat shot; excellent composition. Posted by CSXJ on March 6, 2006  Nice shot Jim. You have My vote. Posted by Dave Kerr on March 6, 2006  Awesome shot, Jim! Posted by Terry Tabb on March 6, 2006  Actually two trains, sorry about that. Over 600 views in 12 hours since posting and easily the most viewed shot of the day. Posted by Fitchville Junction on March 7, 2006  How far away were the head engines of the eastbound tanker train? And, great shot, I do a lot of railfanning in the Altoona/Gallitzin area and I just wish I could get some shots as well composed as this one. My vote for POTW. Posted by Jim Johnston on March 7, 2006  Just barely visible around the bend you can see a buffer car between the tanks and the head end power. There was another buffer car between the helpers and the tanks as well, but it was the longest train of tank cars I had ever seen.. Posted by Fitchville Junction on March 8, 2006  OK, thanks. In all my days of railfanning in the Altoona/Gallitzin area, I don't think I have ever seen a tank train as long as this one. Nice shot! Posted by John Ireland on March 20, 2006  The tank train is mostly like 68J, a unit tank train of 80-100 cars. Its eastbound counterpart is 69J, about the same lenght.
