American Freedom train steam engines
Two national Freedom Trains have toured the United States: the 1947–49 special exhibit Freedom Train and the 1975–76 American Freedom Train which celebrated the United States Bicentennial. Each train had its own special red, white and blue paint scheme and its own itinerary and route around the 48 contiguous states, stopping to display Americana and related historical artifacts.
The 1940s Freedom Train exhibit was integrated—black and white viewers were allowed to mingle freely. When town officials in Birmingham, Alabama, and Memphis, Tennessee, refused to allow blacks and whites to see the exhibits at the same time, the Freedom Train skipped the planned visits, amid significant controversy.
A second freedom train, the American Freedom Train, toured the country in 1975–76 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. This 26-car train was powered by three newly restored steam locomotives. The first to pull the train was former Reading Company T-1 class 4-8-4 #2101. The second was former Southern Pacific 4449, a large 4-8-4 steam locomotive that is still operating in special excursion service today. The third was former Texas & Pacific 2-10-4 #610, which pulled the train in Texas. Due to light rail loadings and track conditions on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, diesels hauled the train from New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama. Diesels were also required in Chicago after the steam locomotive derailed attempting to negotiate tracks by the Chicago lakefront.
The train itself consisted of 10 display cars, converted from New York Central and Penn Central baggage cars. They carried more than 500 treasures of Americana, including George Washington's copy of the Constitution, the original Louisiana Purchase, Judy Garland's dress from The Wizard of Oz, Joe Frazier's boxing trunks, Martin Luther King's pulpit and robes, replicas of Jesse Owens' four Olympic gold medals from 1936[28] (one of which was stolen somewhere along the way), and even a rock from the moon.
Its tour of all 48 contiguous states lasted from April 1, 1975, until December 31, 1976. More than 7 million Americans visited the train during its tour, while millions more stood trackside to see it go by.
The tour began in Wilmington, Delaware, and headed northeast to New England, west through Pennsylvania, Ohio to Michigan, then around Lake Michigan to Illinois and Wisconsin. From the Midwest, the tour continued westward, zigzagging across the plains to Utah and then up to the Pacific Northwest. From Seattle, Washington, the tour then traveled south along the Pacific coast to southern California. The train and crew spent Christmas 1975 in Pomona, California, decorating the locomotive with a large profile of Santa Claus on the front of the smokebox above the front coupler. For 1976, the tour continued from southern California eastward through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, then turned north to visit Kansas and Missouri before traveling through the Gulf Coast states and then north again to Pennsylvania. The tour continued southeast to New Jersey then south along the Atlantic coast before finally ending December 26, 1976 in Miami, Florida. The last visitor went through the train on December 31, 1976.
In early 1977 National Museums of Canada bought 15 of the cars and from 1978 to 1980 toured across Canada as Discovery Train, a mobile museum focusing on that country's history.

Fight continues to keep Apache helicopters in
By: Jackalyn Kovac
RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, Cambria County, Pa. -- The fight to keep Apache helicopters at a local military base continues, and 6 News learned more about the efforts to keep the aircraft and the men and women who run them in our area.
Congressman Keith Rothfus said he is fighting the clock hoping to keep all the Apache helicopters here in Pennsylvania, including those in Johnstown, and will present two amendments to Congress next week fighting an order for all to be removed.
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 includes a request for the Army National Guard to transfer all Apache helicopters to active Army.
The helicopters will come from National Guard units in four states, including Pennsylvania.
As we work through the National Defense Authorization Act, next week I'm gonna press for amendments to try and hold onto these assets here, Rothfus said.
Right now, local leaders are working to fight the law by either keeping all the helicopters where they are, or by reducing the number leaving for active Army.
Currently, a compromise drafted by officials would allow 16 helicopters to be transferred, leaving just a third behind in the Commonwealth.
Rothfus said keeping the aircraft allows the National Guard to do their jobs, and helps with the rotation of active duty personnel.
My concern is when you start to pull assets like the Apaches out of the guard, they could be less combat-ready, less operational-prepared for doing the mission we are asking them to do, Rothfus said.
If all the helicopters are moved, the soldiers' jobs would move as well, but would not be lost.
It's unclear what exactly will happen. This order affects four states and officials are working on negotiating the terms.

New Freedom PA Tornado/Super Storm Incident
On July 8 2014, a powerful storm, (New Freedom residents speculating some sort of tornado) ripped through the town of New Freedom, PA.
I was ecstatic to pull some viable footage (2 separate shots) from the epicenter of this storm. I was gravely disappointed to learn that I shot in 640x480 @30FPS, which just so happens to be the lowest quality setting on a Canon t3i. The sounds of the storm & of this event can best be heard with headphones.

The whole ordeal only lasted approximately 2 minutes, at most 3 minutes. It came up quick and left just as fast. While the National Weather Service did not give confirmation of a tornado, many New Freedom residents discuss and speculate the possibility of a tornado that did not quite touch down. Assessing the post storm damage, trees with their tops twisted off could be found.

Norfolk & Western 611 Steam Train!
All aboard! Norfolk and Western number 611 is one of the most famous restored steam locomotives in the United States. It was built by the N&W in their Roanoke shops in 1950 and retired in 1959. Later, it would go on to have two second careers as an excursion locomotive. Let's take a look at this wonderfully restored streamlined steam locomotive as it pulls several excursion trips in Virginia.
