Title:
"World Famous Horseshoe Curve," Page 5, 1973
Description:
Here is page five of a 64-page booklet published by Harry P. Albrecht entitled "World Famous Horseshoe Curve, Altoona, Pennsylvania Railroad." It was first issued in September of 1973. Photo Caption: "An eastbound freight, with engine No. 222, appears to be awaiting a 'clear board' so that it may proceed and work its way down the 'hill' to Altoona, sometime about the late 1860ies." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #222, a Class D (4-6-0) "Ten-Wheeler" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during 1861 and retired in June of 1872 after just 11 years of revenue service. Note the Head-End Brakeman sitting atop the first car of the train.
