CR 6279 & 6299

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Bob Krug	General	Likely somewhere on the grade west of Altoona...but not the Horseshoe curve. Topography slopes downhill on the whole inside of the curve.	12/18/2012 1:56:20 PM

Rick Erben	General	Horseshoe is correct; you are at 2417 signals at east end of the curve, and it does drop away but photographer appears to be standing on former No.2 trk. roadbed.	12/18/2012 2:59:10 PM

Tom Beckett	General	judging by the headlights being off-at elast it appears that way from this angle, these are pushers. Conrail had a group of SD40/-2's they used in pusher service out of Altoona for years. Interesting stuff, I always enjoy calendar photos. I can't walk past one without checking it. I miss the Don Wood Pennsy calendars-are they still out there??	12/18/2012 3:58:59 PM

Mike Maskel	General	NICE SHOT	12/19/2012 12:02:40 AM

Olaf Junges	General	Beautiful!	12/19/2012 7:43:20 AM

Robert Beichler	General	I think this is just west of the curve because of the signal bridge, the tracks are superelevated so the inner side is lower than the outer rails, great memories of home thankyou for posting. It would be nice to see the Muleshoe sometime.	12/19/2012 2:43:07 PM

Bradley Bates	General	Awesome photo	12/29/2012 5:58:52 PM

Railfan 1981	General	Very nice!!	6/23/2014 11:47:36 PM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Thank you.	6/24/2014 6:35:43 AM
