| Here is page two of a four-page article entitled "Birthday Photograph Of The Curve." It was published originally in the December 1954 issue of "Pennsy" magazine, page 2. Here are photos taken before and during the evening of Wednesday, 20 0ctober 1954, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania. Top Left Photo Caption: "Trains pass Fmn. P. Oakley, Electricians D. Hite, J. Winstanley, D. Cook on Curve." Note the GM-EMD A-B-A "Covered Wagons" passing two Baldwin A-A "Centipedes." Just image the clickety-clack burbling echoes . . . those were some of the good old days at the Curve! |
