| AW. Here is the first of two successive images of photos by Arlington J. Wolfe that were taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1948. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6444, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during November of 1943 and retired in February of 1960 after just 17 years of revenue service. In this context, it's pulling a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. William E. Burket Collection. |
