Title:
PRR "World Famous Horseshoe Curve," Page 32, 1973
Description:
Here is page 32 of a 64-page booklet published by Harry P. Albrecht entitled "World Famous Horseshoe Curve, Altoona, Pennsylvania Railroad." It was first issued in September of 1973. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #348, an H-6 (2-8-0) "Consolidated" built in the Altoona Machine Shops during September of 1899, renumbered "2004" in March of 1924, and retired in July of 1926 after 27 years of faithful service. It's hauling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to the Eastbound Receiving Yards in Altoona. Note the two-bore tunnel at the base of the Burgoon Run fill. (Part 1 of a two-part centerfold photo.)
