| AHC. Here is an original photo that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in the Summer of 1952. Seated on the base of the old flagpole are four members of the Ayers Family of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Facing the camera (L to R) are Nancy Virginia, Lois Rachel (Burket), James Lloyd, and Thomas C. Ayers. In the background, an A-B-A trio of Pennsylvania Railroad EH-15 diesel-electric locomotives is returning to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain" to Gallitzin and back. Photo taken by Dr. Lloyd Roberts Ayers, my father. |
