| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide (converted to B&W) that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1946. Shown here is a Pennsylvania Railroad Class J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" steam locomotive rounding the Curve on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where it will uncouple and return to Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." The photographer's name, the locomotive's road number, and the exact date are not recorded. |
