| Niles II. Here is the tenth 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 pair of K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacifics" pulling a passenger train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. The mountains in the distance define Burgoon Run, site of the coal mines and coke ovens at Glen White. The locomotive road numbers and the exact date are not recorded. |
