Title:  "Horseshoe Curve," Page 48, 2004
Description:  Here is page 11 of a 24-page cover article entitled "Horseshoe Curve: 150 Years." It was published originally in the August 2004 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 48. Lower Left Photo, Partial Caption: "Some of the finest in PRR steam were the 125 J1-class 2-10-4s, built by PRR to a Chesapeake & Ohio design in 1942-44. Rounded cab windows lent these workhorses an unexpected air of elegance. On October 3, 1952, double-headed J1s ease a freight downgrade on No. 1 track at 10:15 a.m. Photo by Marvin Cohen." Also visible is Pennsylvania Railroad box car #71779.
