| Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, during mid-May of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #6513 and #6083. #6513 is a GF-25A built by General Electric in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #6083 is an EF-30A built by EMD in 1966 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. They are pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight around the Horseshoe Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. |
