Title:  "Horseshoe Curve," Page 55, 2004
Description:  Here is page 18 of a 24-page cover article entitled "Horseshoe Curve: 150 Years." It was published originally in the August 2004 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 55. Shown here (inter alia) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in May of 1956, and enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957. During 1987 and 1988, engine #1361 was restored for service and made some excursion runs in Central Pennsylvania. Certain safety concerns arose, however, which led to it being disassembled. It has yet to be reassembled/restored/resurrected!
