| Here is a photo from H.G. Colyer. It was included in a 24-page booklet entitled "World Famous Horseshoe Curve" that was published in 2006 by The Railroad Press, page 2. Partial Caption: "A double-headed passenger train [~ with a pair of K-2S (4-6-2) 'Pacifics' ~] charges westbound around the park at Horseshoe Curve. Notice the 'fifth track,' which is actually the lead for the turnout on the left. This is the standard gauge branch of the Glen White Coal Company, which went east approximately two miles to an array of coke ovens and a coal tipple fed by an inclined plane via a 36-inch gauge Vulcan 0-4-0. Later, the railroad nearly doubled in length to haul clay out. The tracks were removed in 1943." |
