| Here is a photo by H.W. Pontin via Rail Photo Service that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in July of 1940. At the left, an unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad "Decapod" is pushing a train of empty hopper cars around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and the coal mines of Western Pennsylvania. At the right, a pair of unidentified PRR "Pacifics" is pulling a passenger train around the Curve and up "The Mountain" to Johnstown and points West. Wave to the Conductor! John S.
