| Excursion. Here is an original photo that I took at the Muleshoe Curve near Duncansville, Pennsylvania, around two-thirty on 17 October 1965. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5898 and three more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #5898 was constructed in March of 1951. They're pulling the "Horseshoe Curve Excursion" ~ sponsored by the Lancaster Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society ~ around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains, pass through the tunnels under Gallitzin, head back down the Eastern Slope and stop at the Horseshoe Curve for excursion passengers to visit PRR K-4S "Pacific" #1361, and then return to Lancaster.
