In the early 1850s, the massive front of the Allegheny Mountains, standing 2,161 feet above sea level, blocked westward advance. This obstacle culminated in the creation of the Gallitzin Tunnels and the Horseshoe Curve, both of which were dug out of near-impenetrable geographic formations. Using switchbacks, excavations, and pure innovation, engineers reduced grades and effectively conquered the mountains.

The Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, honors the 40 passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93, who bravely fought back against hijackers during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Their actions prevented the plane from reaching its intended target in Washington, D.C., and it crashed in a field near Shanksville. The memorial includes the Wall of Names, the Tower of Voices, and a visitor center that tells the story of the heroic sacrifice made that day.
  • 5:00 pmDINNER will be included this evening.
  • 8:30 pm - Approximate return to the Terminal.
