RailFest in Altoona, Pa., This Weekend

[pfs]

Call me a traditionalist, but I thought the clown with the horn on his car was an idiot.

Especially since he took up two parking spaces with his truck when he wasn't out bleating.

Isnt there a rule, if someone uses more than one parking spot they are offering their vehicle as a makeshift latrine for those in need?

I do recall this being a rule.

I agree about the horns, the gimmick wears thin fast, and based on the facts mentioned this guy didnt need the horns to be a pain, but they sure helped.

I never heard of railfest, sounds/looks like a WONDERFUL time....even if that famous guy wasnt there.

More photos/videos please.

Awesome thread and narrative here..... "I laugh long time"

A couple of friends returned the week prior from Altoona also. Even though it was my idea to go, I didn't end up going with them .

( I wish there was a "kick myself in the *** " smiley I could insert here)

 When is Railfest next year- is there a specific date ?

When is Railfest next year- is there a specific date ?

I asked the organisers the same question and was told "Nothing set in stone yet, but we're lookng at the second weekend in July."

I feel it might be worth a trek across the Atlantic???
