| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, during March of 1960. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5878 and two more "EP" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD. #5878 is an EP-20 constructed in April of 1949 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. In this context, this A-B-A trio is rounding the Curve on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to the Altoona Passenger Station and points East. Also visible is PRR passenger coach #4004.
