PRR Muleshoe Curve Tunnel, 1920's         
Muleshoe. Here is a photo from page 17 of a 21-page article by Jim Hilker, Jr., entitled "A History of the Hollidaysburg & Petersburg Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad." It was published originally in the Spring 2007 issue of "The Keystone" magazine, page 56. Photo Caption: "Muleshoe Curve on the New Portage Branch in the 1920's. The helper pushing a westbound train is heading toward the main line at Tunnel Hill. (Courtesy of the Huntingdon County Historical Society.)" Since the streambed is to the left of US Route 22, this train is actually heading downgrade from Gallitzin toward Duncansville.
