| Horseshoe Curve-1959. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 3 September 1959. Shown here (F to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9821 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9821 is an EF-15A built in May of 1951. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. |
