I live in Altoona PA, a vibrant railroad area featuring the Famous Horeshoe Curve. During WW Two it becomes a target of the Nazis given its vital importance connection to the Steel industry in Pittsburgh and supplies heading to the East. Two Germans come ashore in a mini sub and fortunately located and arrested.

As a 35 year RR employee, I been around the curve a few times and to the shops in Alto. I used to put cameras on the locomotive so officials could see from the engineers view. Worked out of Conway.
