Here for your browsing pleasure is an extraordinary photo of "Horse Shoe Curve." On B[urlington] and M[issouri River] R'y. Buckhorn Mountains in background. It was made in 1891 by Grabill, John C. H., photographer.

The photo documents Bird's-eye view of a train on tracks, just beyond a marked curve.
