PRR IA Tower, c. 1892         
WR. Here is an image of a photo by William H. Rau that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1892. Shown here is the Pennsylvania Railroad's IA Tower at the very top of the Curve. Note the interlocking where three tracks from railroad west merge into two around the Curve. The track at the far left suggests that preparations are already underway to build Tracks 3 and 4. William E. Burket Collection.
