| 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 #9683 and #9777. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9683 is an EF-15A built as an EH-15 in February in 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A. #9777 is an EF-15A built in January of 1951. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. |
