AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Al Bubb that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1949. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4554, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in September of 1944, and retired in September of 1956 after 33 years of service. It's rounding the Curve with a mixed-cargo freight train on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to the eastbound receiving yards in Altoona. |
