Horseshoe Curve

Description:

"Horseshoe Curve" is a photographic history of Altoona's most famous geographical landmark, how and why it came to be, and its continued prominence as a link in the trans-continental railroad and its association with the City of Altoona, especially the founding of the town as the Pennsylvania Railroad sought out a route that would connect Philadelphia to Pittsburgh by rail, thus bypassing the slow and cumbersome Mainline of Public Works (canal and portage railroad).
