January 2008 -  Annul Report for 2007

2007 marked the Horseshoe Curve Chapter’s 39th year of service and participation to the greater Altoona Area as well as the National Railway Historical Society.

Social events for the season included a February evening at the home of Dick & Toni Charlesworth in February [with a slide show by David Seidel]; the Chapter’s annual picnic hosted by Will and Diane Teeter at their Camp; a June social hosted by George and Joyce Thompson at Spring Lake Park, Bellwood; and the annual Christmas party at Deer Hollow Bed & Breakfast hosted by Joe DeFrancesco and his grandparents “Dink” and Rachel Gensimore.

2007 began with the display of the Chapter’s newly restored Railway Express Refrigerator car REX 7375 at Railroader’s Memorial Museum, but work also continued throughout the year on the restoration of the 1940 Chevrolet Railway Express Agency truck for Railroader’s Memorial Museum, much at the Chapter’s expense. The Chapter also had an “O” gage model of REX 7375 made by Weaver which was sold at Railroader’s Memorial Museum, and a car was also given each volunteer worker at Millenium Railcar Shop [Hollidaysburg PA] who restored the express car. Work also continued on plow repairs (Austeel Stamping Co.) for the 1946 Walter truck from the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway, and the subsequent repainting of this original appliance as well as the mid-chassis scraper blade. The fully completed Walter Truck was exhibited at the Antique Truck and Machinery Show at Lakemont Park in July

Work projects at Railroader’s Memorial Museum included roof-coating of PRR Office Car “Duquesne” as well as PRR Railway Post Office Car “Robert E. Hannegan”. In anticipation of future work on PRR section car “Union League Club”, several chapter members traveled to Brookville PA to view sister car “Anthracite Club”, which was hosted by Kevin Moore, DMD. “Union League Club”, was displayed during 2007 on the turntable bridge at Railroader’s Memorial Museum until a permanent track location is assigned. Many Chapter members volunteer at the museum on rolling stock maintenance, as group-tour guides, library oversight (Bill Temple), or other supportive services as needed.

Chapter Director Dick Charlesworth developed a bus trip to the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in June, which included a trip on Amtrak from Harrisburg to Lancaster, PA. Chapter members were car hosts for excursions operated on the Everett Railroad in July for Spring Dam Days at Roaring Spring; a charter for the Hollidaysburg YMCA in October for their “Old Tyme Faire & Great Adventure” [3 trips with a train robbery/bandits on horseback]; and the very popular Santa Trains the weekends prior to and after Thanksgiving with all children greeted by Santa personally, and treat bags provided.

Horseshoe Curve Chapter members, as is traditional, worked to staff the annual Railfest Limited Train (Juniata Terminal Co. restored E-8 locomotives and first class cars) for Railroader’s Memorial Museum’s annual Railfest in July, which included staffing and coordinating the Amtrak Station boarding for 3 trips each on Saturday and Sunday.

The Chapter also assisted with planning and guiding area tours for the Toy Train Operating Society convention, Altoona, in August to assist host Alto Model Train Museum/Altoona Area Train Collectors Club.

Horseshoe Curve Chapter made contributions to Blair County Children & Youth Services and Toys for Tots for the Christmas season, including sponsoring a tree at the local Ramada Inn. Donation was made also to the Roaring Spring Historical Society for maintenance on the Roaring Spring Station, Blair County’s only surviving PRR Station.

Horseshoe Curve Chapter and Railroader’s Memorial Museum sponsored Joe DeFrancesco to attend RailCamp at Steamtown, Scranton, PA. Joe provided a comprehensive report of his experience to the Chapter membership in August.

 HORSESHOE CURVE CHAPTER 40th ANNIVERSARY
 
It is hard for ‘some of us’ to believe that 40 years have gone by.  Your historian/editor now has white hair, and Harley Burket hardly has any, so that must be the measure of the passage of time.
 
We recommend you visit the Chapter’s webpage and read the Chapter History segment to understand what has transpired in these 40 years.  In summary, a group of individuals formed to find a way to have some sort of a railroad museum for the Altoona area after the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania awarded such a facility to Lancaster County.  The nucleus of this initial group, formed under the umbrella of the Tourist and Convention Bureau under the Chamber of Commerce, was known as the Altoona Railway Museum Club.  The group began by collecting railroad memorabilia and exhibiting these collections in storefronts or at other community events.  In the first two years, the group became aware of an organization known as the National Railway Historical Society and subsequently applied for a charter.  This was granted May 11, 1968.
 
Almost concurrent with the granting of this charter, new arrivals in Altoona Ray and Elizabeth Garvin, took an interest in the Chapter.  Ray, a native of Bradford, PA, came to head up the Tourist and Convention Bureau under which the Altoona Railway Museum Club formed.  During the next four years, Ray, with his community contacts, assumed leadership responsibilities to form Railroader’s Memorial Museum, which was chartered in document form in 1972.  As the momentum for the development of the museum grew and fund raising began, the museum, of necessity, became an entity unto itself for non-profit status and development, ultimately opening its doors on September 21, 1980.
 
The Horseshoe Curve Chapter, National Railway Historical Society has always been involved with Railroaders Memorial Museum from the beginning.  In its formative and early years, approximately one-quarter of the museum board was comprised by Chapter members/officers. One could say, that Horseshoe Curve Chapter was instrumental in the seed-planting phase.  Forty years later, the Chapter maintains an affiliation with Railroader’s Memorial Museum as a support organization, assisting in the maintenance and further development of this remarkable facility. The Chapter’s most recent contribution has been a two-year project restoring the museum’s 1940 Chevrolet Railway Express Agency truck which is now painted in primer and almost ready for finish work.  What had started as a rusty hulk from an Iowa junkyard (excurse me…”junque”yard) is now the diamond emerging from the rough and will be a genuine asset to Railroader’s Memorial Museum. 
 
The National Railway Historical Society has been an excellent affiliation for the Horseshoe Curve Chapter.  Over the years, we have partnered with several sister-chapters in projects or joint-activities which we’ve all enjoyed, especially South Penn Chapter [at the ‘old’ Everett Railroad] (now disbanded), Lancaster Chapter, Harrisburg Chapter, Western Maryland Chapter and Cumberland Valley.  Horseshoe Curve Chapter has hosted two National Directors meetings for the society [which amount to mini-conventions] and played an instrumental role in the 150th Anniversary celebration of Horseshoe Curve and the placement of a bronze tablet at Horseshoe Curve National Historical Site for that occasion. 
  
Over the years, Horseshoe Curve Chapter has acquired rolling stock independent of Railroader’s Memorial Museum and continues to work on historical restorations, as well as operating three coaches in excursion service on the Everett Railroad nearby. With the completion of the new turntable at Railroader’s Memorial Museum in 2006, all of the Chapter’s rolling stock is now housed at the museum facility by invitation…and our projects continueon these as well as museum owned pieces. Three of the Chapter’s best pieces, as you may know, are the restored 1946 Walter Snow Fighter from the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway; a PRR Class B-60 Baggage car; and the newest completion the Railway Express Agency Boxcar # 7375 (used in passenger service). Restoration was completed by Millenium Rail Car Shop in Hollidaysburg and the Chapter currently has an O-gauge model of this car for sale at Railroader’s Memorial Museum or through President Givler for $59.95 + tax + sh. 
 
Rather than insert many photographs in this newsletter, please visit your Chapter website developed by Chris Behe, which has photo-essays on all our Chapter activities and equipment.  We feel certain that Horseshoe Curve Chapter’s webpage is superior in form and content thanks to Chris Behe’s talents.
 
As noted in the dates above, we will celebrate the occasion with a dinner at the Geeseytown Fire Hall two miles east of Hollidaysburg on US 22.  We encourage all members and your families to join us for this special occasion.  Guest speakers will be Larry Salon, the new Executive Director of Railroader’s Memorial Museum and John Sweigart, NRHS Regional Vice-President. In addition, there will be a display of railroad memorabilia (no, you haven’t seen it all before) and a great evening of good conversation with your friends. We are still deciding about a slide show that might be of interest.  If you have some item(s) of special railroad memorabilia you would like to exhibit, please bring it along and arrive early.  Our dinner is on Armed Forces Day weekend, but most of those activities are earlier in the day.   We especially invite our out-of-town members and their families whom we rarely get to see or meet.  We guarantee NO SNOW in May, not that we had much this winter anyway.
 
PLEASE RSVP no later than May 9th. Indicate name and number of guests. Menu: Turkey & Ham and all the trimmings. Telephone President Givler at Frank’s Auto Service (814) 943-4942 or at ottodocfacs@aol.com. Reservations can also be telephoned to (814) 944-2667 evenings;  OR Treasurer Denny Walls at d63w@aol.com.  Cost is $10.00 pp + gratuity. Please post your calendars now.
 
RAILCAMP 2008
 
As most of you know, Horseshoe Curve Chapter sponsored Joe DeFrancesco at Railcamp 2007, at Steamtown National Historic Site.  Because of Joe’s demonstrated interest, ability and participation in the many ongoing Chapter projects, we have decided to sponsor him at Railcamp 2008 in Nevada during July.  This is somewhat of a precedent for the Chapter, but we feel this investment in  Horseshoe Curve Chapter’s future leadership is validated.  With the results of the affirmative vote by the membership, Joe will head west in July for a week of study (and fun too).  Sunscreen required, Joe!
 
 CHAPTER WORK PROJECTS
 
Finish work will continue on the Railway Express Agency truck as needed. Now that it is in primer paint, there will be some finish sanding, but the heavy work is almost completed.
 
With improved weather, work projects are returning to Railroader’s Memorial Museum on Monday nights and/or Saturdays.  Work has begun to scrape, sand, and re-finish the PRR N-5 caboose along the entrance walkway which is in need of attention.  As projects are completed we will move onto other pieces in the museum yard.  Check with any chapter officer for info if you have a question or just show up. 
We anticipate many interesting projects for 2008 in conjunction with Railroader’s Memorial Museum, and we DO have a good time, and we DO get dirty.  Gloves are recommended.
 
MARCH MEETING
 
As you no doubt know by now, the March meeting was cancelled at the last minute because of the death/viewing date, of the Chapter Historian’s mother, Webmaster Chris Behe’s grandmother and member David Behe’s mother-in-law. 
 
A sincere thank you to all chapter members for your condolences at this time, especially the contribution made to the Altoona Area School District Foundation on behalf of our mother, grandmother and mother-in-law Catherine Seidel.  Mother and dad were both active in supportive ways to the chapters early years.  In those days when efforts were underway to start Railroader’s Memorial Museum, a popular culture of the 1970’s was the ‘pet rock’.  I can just hear some of you groaning and wondering just what that was.  But, to get seed money for the start-up of Railroaders Memorial Museum, a plan was devised to compete with the pet rock and JAR steam locomotive cinders and sell these for $1.00 per jar.
 Cinders were “recycled” from a location near MG Tower where they are still in abundance, and a campaign was launched to obtain baby food jars for the purpose.
 Lids were painted, labels applied and cinders scooped into the jars…and mother, dad and other family pitched in for this project.  It may seem insignificant, but the image of that “jarring experience”, and others, still lingers and is part of our history as well.
 
And, yes, I still have a jar of those cinders (steam locomotive exhaust cinders, NOT ash). Granulated black sand is a comparison.
 
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.

 
RAILFEST 2008
 
Once again another year and another season is upon us.  As has been custom, the Railfest Limited Excursion train will provide three daily trips around Horseshoe Curve on Saturday and Sunday, July 12-13 2008, but activities will begin July 11 after 6 PM with food, drink and the Smick Brothers band on the museum grounds.  Chapter members will once again be needed to act as coach attendants and station attendants.  We hope everyone can plan for this time of years and be available for this great annual experience. 
 
The Railfest Limited will be powered by Juniata Terminal Company’s restored Pennsylvania Railroad E-8 locomotives # 5711 and 5809 in addition to parlor Warrior Ridge and the Pennsylvania 120.  It is anticipated that section car Kitchi Gammi Club will make a return appearance as well as SEPTA coaches.
 
There are many activities planned for this weekend and we recommend visiting www.railroadcity.com to stay abreast of all events on their calendar and/or for ticket ordering information. You may also e-mail: admin@railroadcity.com.
 
NOTE:  Horseshoe Curve National Historic Site has re-opened for the season and the Master Mechanics Building/main museum complex will open on or about May 1st.  The delay is due to pending repairs to the museum elevator which was damaged by a burst sprinkler near the elevator shaft during the winter months, and slow response by the insurance company.

 
CONRAIL HISTORICAL SOCIETY CONVENTION
 
The Conrail Historical Society will hold their annual convention in Altoona October 24-25-25, 2008.  Horseshoe Curve Chapter has already been active to assist the group with their arrangements.  The Conrail Historical Society is also interested in new member inquiries.
 
 
Your interest in railroad history may be influenced by your work history, general interest, or the generation in which you may have experienced Conrail’s operational years.  For more information, please contact:  Russ Swinnerton at russ.swinnerton@gmail.com, of Kristopher M. Klemick at conrail6055@comcast.net, or visit www.TheCRHS.org . The Conrail Historical Society is registered as a 501 © 3 non-profit organization and publishes a high quality quarterly magazine.  We welcome CRHS to Altoona (in advance) and recommend CRHS for your review.
 

BOOK RECOMMENDATION
 
Your editor has just finished reading “The Men Who Loved Trains” by Rush Loving.  It is perhaps the most definitive work which clearly outlines the progression into and through the PRR-NYC merger and its disastrous results. It also chronicles the subsequent years through Conrail and outlines how and why Conrail became divided between NS and CSX.  While it is a work of non-fiction, it does hold the reader’s attention.  It is a “must-read” for anyone who is interested in railroad history.  You can find this text at reasonable pricing on amazon.com.  New texts with jacket covers are also available at www.TheCRHS.com.
 

HORSESHOE CURVE
 
Your chapter historian has written a book entitled “Horseshoe Curve” which will be released one week prior to Railfest – anticipated for July 7, 2008.  This will be identical in format to the book “Altoona and Logan Valley Electric Railway” published in 2006 by Leonard E. Alwine and David Seidel, which continues to sell nicely, benefiting Horseshoe Curve Chapter. While publication is currently in progress, you will be able to find information at a later date by visiting www.arcadiapublishing.com and searching for HORSESHOE CURVE.  As most of you know, there have been many previous books and magazines printed about Horseshoe Curve, all very well done, especially Dan Cupper’s Horseshoe Heritage, and Dr. Dennis McIlnay’s The Horseshoe Curve-Sabotage and Subversion in the Railroad City.
 The Arcadia Publishing format is what differs in that all photographs (about 200) are black-and-white images.  It is affordably priced at $19.99 each + tax. It will be readily available at Horseshoe Curve, Railroader’s Memorial Museum and other outlets, as well as online via the publisher. The royalties have been assigned to Railroader’s Memorial Museum to fund their many projects, hopefully to get the Loretto restoration back in focus. Many people provided photographic material or information and are identified in the Acknowledgement section. Many thanks to these individuals or organizations.
