| 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 (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2502, #2544, and #2507. All three are GF-25's built by General Electric and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #2502 was built in August of 1962, #2544 in February of 1965, and #2507 in September of 1962. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. |
