| Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in May of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7025, an unidentified PRR "Geep," plus Bangor & Aroostook GP9 #77. PRR #7025 is an EFS-17M built by GM-EMD in November of 1955 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They're about to enter the Curve pulling a mixed-cargo freight train up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. (#11 of 39) |
