| Horseshoe Curve-1959. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 03 September 1959. Shown here (R to L) is PRR engine #8673 and two other units whose numbers are not visible. All were built by the American Locomotive Company. #8673 is an AS-18AM built in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. It is pushing a westbound mixed-cargo freight train around the Horseshoe Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. |
