Best location for railfanning at Sand Patch?

Question

I cant find the location. Am i missing data or am i just that blind that i cant find the *&^%$ tunnel to take photos of?

Answer 1

If you are looking for the Mance Tunnel . . . it's kind of hidden.  You have a take a side road to be able to see it.  They have paved a road overtop of the tunnel.  There is a nice place to go on the West side of the tunnel to get some pictures of trains.

If you go outside of Myersdale, PA, take Glade City Road.  There will be a sign for Sand Patch.  You will make a right.  You won't stay on the road for long before you cross the tracks.  That is the spot I am talking about.  You can probably ask anyone in Myersdale and the will be able to get you to Sand Patch (I'm sure many railfans ask that).

I can get there myself, but thinking of the names of the roads, that I'm not sure of.

Hope this was helpful!  And happy "hunting"

Answer 2

I know that there's a siding called Sand Cut, near Bakersfield, CA.  Could you be thinking of that one? If not, what line is Sand Patch along, maybe I can find some info for you?
