*Watch in HD and Pump Volume Up* Track Description... "Class T1 (4-4-4-4) #5505 westbound, climbing Horseshoe Curve just west of Altoona, PA with a Harrisburg-Pittsburgh Local Train #19. First heard 1/4 mile away, the T1's exhaust fades then strengthens as she passes the site of Kittanning Point Station and rounds the Curve, heading towards Gallitzin. Note the unusual sounds of the T1's poppet valves. This recording was made on July 5, 1949. From "Steam on the Standard Railroad of the World.
