Lorenz. Here is a photo via Bob Lorenz that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1952. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5861 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-20's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5861 was constructed in February of 1948. In this context, they're descending the Allegheny Mountains and rounding the Curve with a passenger train bound for Altoona, Harrisburg, and points East. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |
