Dibs will post the question later. Railroad, what railroad had the most well known "Muleshoe Curve"

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]In a fight for dominance over who would own the freight traffic heading west, the 36 mile long Allegheny Portage Railroad was born. It's primary role was to connect the canal system of the Susquehanna river with the canal system of the Ohio river. It was part railroad, part barge incline. It also included the first railroad tunnel ever constructed in the United States - the Staple Bend Tunnel.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Financed and operated by the State of Pennsylvania, The inclines were replaced with rail lines in 1856, creating the New Portage Railroad and the Muleshoe Curve. Then one year later the New Portage Railroad was sold to the privately held Pennsylvania Railroad who immediately abandoned the Muleshoe section in favor of their shorter Horseshoe approach to the Gallitzin Tunnels.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]In 1964 the site was preserved by the National Park service. Named ALPO (Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site), much of the land is now a National Historic Site.[/FONT]​

Google says..........

The Milwaukee Road 261 is a 4-8-4, steam-powered locomotive owned and maintained by a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization known as theFriends of the 261, which runs seasonal train excursions. The steam engine, rebuilt in 1993, has logged more than 25,000 miles under its own power since that time.
On Friday, May 7, 2010, National Railroad Museum operations manager Bob Lettenberger announced that the Museum had sold Milwaukee Road No. 261 to the Friends of the 261 for a low six-figure price. That money will go into preserving or restoring other railroad equipment at the Museum.
