Steam locomotives on the Pennsylvania Horseshoe curve

Steam locomotives on the Pennsylvania Horseshoe curve - Pennsylvania Railroad in the early 1950s. Work on Horseshoe Curve began in 1850. It was done without heavy equipment, only men "with picks and shovels, horses and dynamite". The 31.1-mile line between Altoona and Johnstown, including Horseshoe Curve, opened on February 15, 1854. Great images from the final years of steam locomotives hauling freight, mail and passengers to the summit of the Alleghenies and back in this video.
