Sunrise at Horseshoe - It was a busy morning at horseshoe curve this past fall as the sun has just risen high enough to ignite the spectacular fall colors that were still hanging. In fortunate timing the head end of a manifest freight grinds its way up grade past the helpers of an eastbound loaded coal train hold back the tonnage going down towards Altoona.
