| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1959. The photographer is not identified. Shown here are two Pennsylvania Railroad "Sharks" built by Baldwin pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. Also visible on the right is PRR engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in September of 1956, enshrined at the Curve on 8 June 1957, and restored for excursion service in April of 1987. |
