Here is a photo by H.W. Pontin via Rail Photo Service that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in July of 1940. Shown here is a pair of unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotives. In this context, they're passing the Kittanning Point Station with a manifest freight train that's rounding the Curve on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. Photo taken from four-track Signal Bridge #2415. Many thanks to Mr. Robert Hess for his helpful comments (see below). John S. Fisher Collection; #2 of 14. |
