| NRHS. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 8 April 1962. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5899, #5810, and #5761. All are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5899 and #5810 were built in March of 1951, but #5761 was built in November of 1952. They're pulling a "Railfan Special to the Horseshoe Curve," sponsored by the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. Here, the "Special" is stopped at the Curve while the railfans inspect K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" #1361, partially visible at the far left. |
