Niles. Here is the third of eight original photos by George Niles, Jr., that were taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1952. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #5368 and #5508. Both locomotives were built in Juniata. #5368 is a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in May of 1924 and retired in September of 1955. #5508 is a T-1 (4-4-4-4) "Duplex" built in December of 1945 and retired in March of 1952.
