Double Heading Pair of PRR Steam Locomotive Helpers
Title:  Double Heading Pair of PRR Steam Locomotive Helpers
Description:  Here is a beautiful action shot of a pair of Pennsylvania RR steam locomotivhelpers assisting a freight train around Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, PA. Robert Hess (see comment below) has identified the first helper loco as a PRR J1 or J1a class 2-10-4 while the second may be an I1sa 2-10-0 loco. Very much appreciate the help in correctly identifying the locos, Robert! Unfortunately, no additional information like date or photographer as well as locomotive numbers was given for the photo. But, it stands as a true iconic view into the steam era!
