Niles I. Here is the eighth of 11 original photos by George Niles, Jr., that were taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1951. Shown here is an unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad Class "J" (2-10-0) "Decapod" steam locomotive rounding the Curve with a mixed-cargo freight train that's heading up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West.
