Muleshoe. Here is a photo from page 35 of Mr. Robert L. Emerson's 1984 book entitled "Allegheny Passage: An Illustrated History Of Blair County." Photo Caption: "Lesser known than its big sister the Horseshoe Curve, the Muleshoe Curve is also something of an engineering feat. Courtesy of the Railroaders Memorial Museum, Altoona." Shown here are a wood-burning 4-4-0 "American" locomotive and a wooden passenger car. Heading downgrade toward Duncansville, they are poised on the single-tracked New Portage Railroad line circa 1857.
