Happy birthday to the Horseshoe Curve! This week in 1854, the Pennsylvania Railroad completed a marvel in rail construction - Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pa. Accomplished via a 12-mile track through the Allegheny Mountains, this landmark was the first linking of the East Coast and the Midwest. Also located in Altoona is our Juniata Locomotive Shop which regularly recycles locomotives into more efficient machines, benefiting both customers and the environment. | Norfolk Southern

A special visitor just rolled through Altoona and conquered the legendary Horseshoe Curve — the brand-new Amtrak Airo trainset!
