Here is the sixth of 18 photos by Fred McLeod that are included in a souvenir brochure entitled "Horseshoe Curve; Pennsylvania Railroad; Altoona, Pa." Photo Caption: "Double Pushers on Upgrade." Shown here are two steam locomotives pushing a mixed-cargo freight train up the Allegheny Mountains and around the Curve to Gallitzin, where the pushers will uncouple and return to East Altoona and begin yet another helper-pusher run up "The Mountain." Visible on the right is venerable Milepost 242. |
