| Niles II. Here is the seventh of 19 original photos by George Niles, Jr., that were taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1952. Shown here is a single L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. The locomotive road number and the exact date are not recorded. |
