Here is an image of an official photo that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1899. Shown here is an unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive pulling the eight-car "Pennsylvania Limited" around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. All hail the "Yellow Kid"! Note the two-bore tunnel at the lower left corner of the photo: left tube for water, right tube for vehicular traffic. William E. Burket Collection. |
