  Switchback - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
SWITCHBACK, a form of pleasure railway, built over alternate descents and ascents, the train or car first gathering momentum by running down an incline, and surmounting by means of this a lesser ascent.
Switchbacks were originally merely an imitation, using cars upon wheels, of the sledge-coasting courses of Russia, and were indeed named by the French montagnes russes.
A variation of the switchback, though lacking its essential principle of climbing by means of momentum, is the water-chute, an imitation of the Canadian toboggan-slide, in which cars built in the shape of boats glide down steep inclines into artificial lakes at their bases.

Although the Switchback hauled excursionists as early as 1829, it was largely a coal-hauling operation until steam locomotive railroads began servicing the area directly.
Then the Switchback was converted to a tourist railroad that rivaled Niagara Falls as a place to visit and caught the hearts of those that rode it.
The Switchback Gravity Railroad was the second railroad in the United States and the first railroad in Pennsylvania.

 Filmtracks: Switchback (Basil Poledouris)
Switchback: (Basil Poledouris) Among Basil Poledouris' lesser-known action scores during the 1990s was this Jeb Stuart production from 1997 - a year when Poledouris would return to the action, thriller, and mystery genres with scores of significant orchestral size.
The bold statements by brass in Switchback are often ambiguous in theme, but they, like the rest of the score, make up it with the sheer power and size of the performing orchestra.
Switchback is the first volume of a series of limited editions from the specialty label.

Most of us think of a switchback as a sharp 180-degree turn that follows the existing grade of the side slope or hillside.

 Switchback - Chicago Gigs.com Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The place is not without its charms, but on the whole it's a somewhat incongruous, cold, sterile location for a warm, spirit-raising band like Switchback, who overcame the limits of the setting with a polished and versatile set of baby boomer-friendly acoustic retro-pop on Friday, April 7.
Switchback was one of the first bookings in a new series of weekend "coffee house" concerts at the acoustically unfriendly bar with its cold wall of glass windows (the band was quick to point out that they usually play much more impressive venues).
If Switchback's 1998 album "Dar's Place" is any indication, the band has grown leaps and bounds in the last two years.

The Interactive Switchback, a computer graphics model of the first coal and passenger railroad in America, is the product of years of patient work by Walt Niehoff, a Lehighton native who has lived most of his adult life near his former workplace at IBM in Endicott, NY.

 CNN - Review: 'Switchback' - Pain, trains and automobiles - November 15, 1997
There's a couple of wrenches thrown into that formula in "Switchback" (the murderer is nowhere near as fancy-shmancy as he usually is, and doesn't seem like the calculus type) but, nevertheless, it eventually lays on most of the trappings of your garden-variety "Let's catch him before he peels again" cop movie.
There are, however, a couple of decent performances in "Switchback," even though the basic point of the story is virtually ignored for most of the movie.
"Switchback" is not as graphic or proudly threatening as this sort of thing usually is, and I applaud that.

 Kyocera Switchback KX21 review by PC Magazine
When I showed the Switchback to a gaggle of 8-to-12-year-olds, however, they started whooping and hollering in admiration of the design.
The middle row of keys is annoyingly set lower than the side rows, causing a lot of misdialing—6 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 1.
The Switchback's main competitors are the T-Mobile Sidekick II, Verizon's LG VX9800 "V," and Cingular's Samsung SGH-D307.
