The Altoona Horseshoe Curve is one of the marvels of the Amtrak Pennsylvanian trip.
From wikipedia: It was completed in 1854 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a way to lessen the grade to the summit of the Allegheny Mountains.
I took this journey in 2011 and loved riding in the horseshoe curve.
They have a park and picnic area there, for families to enjoy and watch trains, too.
An unforgettable experience.
