Penn State Classmates, 1973
Title:  Penn State Classmates, 1973
Description:  AHC. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, during August of 1973. Shown here are two of my Penn State-Harrisburg classmates: Twyla Jean King and Charles Ottaviano, both of Middletown, Pennsylvania. Behind them is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata in May of 1918, retired in September of 1956 after 2,469,000 miles, enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve in June of 1957, restored for excursion service in April of 1987, withdrawn for safety reasons, disassembled for repairs, and still awaiting resuscitation.

Cover Caption: "Our classic cover painting of a Pennsy train on Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pa., was done by Donald E. Antes, Jr., president of Hall of Steam, 1407 N.

[N.B.: Mr. Antes's work reminds me of a similar "Horseshoe Curve" scene painted by Mr. Grif Teller in 1935.]

PRR 1361, K-4S, c. 1982
Title:  PRR 1361, K-4S, c. 1982
Description:  #1361. Here is an original 35mm color slide that was taken by an unidentified photographer at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1982. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in September of 1956, enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957, restored for excursion service in April of 1987, withdrawn from service and disassembled because of safety concerns, and still not reassembled to wholeness. Looks to me like this photo was taken from a passing train, perhaps from the cabin car of the westbound freight train visible across Burgoon Run.
