Here is page eight of an eight-page article by Harry T. Sohlberg entitled "Horseshoe Curve." It was published originally in the March 1941 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 35. Bottom Photo: Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4527 and #6768. #4527 is an I-1S (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during August of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in November of 1942, and retired in June of 1953. #6768 is an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built in Juniata during September of 1930 and retired in February of 1955. They're pulling a 110-car merchandise freight around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where the "Decapod" will be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for further assingment. |
