This picture taken inside the Horseshoe Curve from the Trains perspective. The rails are to the left and right wrapping behind me. Below one can see the Altoona Water Shed reservoir. Pay particular attention to the left of the picture as one can see how the Channel (between reservoir and road) separates the Iron run-off from the Strip Mines. This water is a bright orange.
This Fe-colored water reminds me of the tap water in my building at work......the pipes are so old....some mornings it is exactly this color.
