After a big run up the face of a mountain (literally), we find this WB intermodal working its way up the 1.45% grade at Horseshoe Curve. Here at the curve, the grade is slightly easier then the grades on both ends of it. East towards Altoona, the ruling grade for westbounds is 1.74%. West towards Gallitzin, the grade steepens to 1.86%. Shot from the West Side of Horseshoe Curve on 7/11/08.
