Among the gossip about what the mystery route RSC are making and some PRR spotted and some guessing it's the Horseshoe curve track. I found this awesome video.

Even a T1 spotted!

I'll add to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndeLOLaMt6E

Also since the T-1 has sprung up in a few threads:

T-1 Up-close: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kmkGSSaxMU
1:12 min. shows the main problem the T-1 had.

T-1 audio on the curve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6HTHcouKu4

Fun Fact: The "Mallard" may be the fastest recorded steam locomotive (126 mph), but the T-1's routinely broke 140 mph between stations on the west end of the PRR.
