On October 16, 1991 Neff Video was asked to ride along on the Conrail inspection train, more commonly known as the Office Car Special. The train departed Altoona, Pennsylvania on a cloudless, blue sky day and headed west to Pittsburgh. Join us as we thread our way up the steep grade towards the world famous Horseshoe Curve. Beautiful fall foliage accentuates the path the train will take past locations such as Alto Tower, Slope, Horseshoe Curve Park, MG Tower, Gallitzin, MO Tower, Cresson, South Fork, SO Tower, Johnstown, New Florence, Conpit, Latrobe, Greensburg, and finally our destination, Penn Station in Pittsburgh.
Enjoy a beautiful sunset as the train is backed to the station to end the day. Not only will you see video shot from the cab of an E-8 diesel locomotive, but action photographed from the rear end theater car, the full length dome car, and from the vestibule as well. 55 minutes, full color, sound, no narration and on-screen graphics.

The date is October 16, 1991, as Steve took a cab ride aboard the Conrail Office Car Train heading west between Altoona home of K4 Pacific 1361 with the famous horseshoe curve that has GP9 number 7067 sitting on display there, & Pittsburgh Pennsylvania home of the PBS show Mister Roger’s Neighborhood at locations like the now closed Alto Tower, Slope, MG Tower, the Gallitzin Tunnels, UN Junction, MO Tower, Cresson, South Fork, SO Tower, Johnstown, New Florence, Latrobe station, Greensburg, Jeannette which was originally called Grapeville, & rolled backwards into Penn Station at the industrial city of Pittsburgh as the sun is setting.
Along the way, there are meets with other Conrail freights, as well as a couple of trackside runbys shot by Grant Geist & Tony Picone of Berkshire Productions, plus, scenes from the rear of the special.
While there is commentary from the crew & passengers aboard the train, it’s also un-narrated just like most of Steve’s other titles.
