Here is page six of an eight-page article by Harry T. Sohlberg entitled "Horseshoe Curve." It was published originally in the March 1941 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 33. Top Photo: Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #3733 and #1339. Both are K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacifics" built in Juniata. #3733 was constructed during February of 1920 and retired in April of 1956, while #1339 was built in April of 1918 and retired in February of 1956. They're pulling a passenger train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. Note the illustration of an inclined plane and a two-sectioned canal boat on the Allegheny Portage Railroad.
