Altoona's Horseshoe Curve, 1966         
Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in mid-May of 1966. Shown here are three unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad engines pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. To their left is the enshrined PRR K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" steam locomotive #1361. Also note lots of budding trees! Photo taken from the site of the Kittanning Point Station.
