Burkey. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5788 and #5717. Both are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5788 was constructed in May of 1952, while #5712 was built in October of 1952. They're rounding the Curve with a passenger train that's on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Pittsburgh and points West. (#20 of 25) |
