<p>Except for the natives, most people don't know about the Petersburg branch and the Muleshoe. Are you from the area or is your knowledge based on the Trains article? In any case you have captured very well the essence of the Petersburg and Mulshoe.</p> <p>In either my junior or senior year in high school, which would have been 1956 or 1957, the PRR hosted a fan trip from Altoona to Petersburg, then to Holidaysburg on the Petersburg Branch, Gallitizen over the Muleshoe, and back to Altoona on the mainline. A K4 or K5 pulled us from Altoona to Petersburg or Huntington and E7s, I believe, powered the remainder of the trip. </p>
