Here is the front portion of the wrap-around color cover of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's 108th Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 December 1954. The photographer is not identified. Partial Cover Caption: "To celebrate the 100th Anniversary year of the opening of the Horseshoe Curve and the 75th Anniversary of the incandescent lamp, engineers of Sylvania Electric Products arranged to take a flashlight picture of the Curve as freight and passenger trains rounded it the night of October 20, 1954.

With a burst of skyrockets lending color to the scene, cameras atop a 150-foot tower recorded the historic flash ~ the largest night photograph ever taken." In the foreground is the westbound 'Trail Blazer' headed by PRR engine #5862, an EP-20 built by GM-EMD in February of 1948 and retired in September of 1967 after just 19 years of revenue service.
