Some crazy U-Boat stuff went on back then. One landed a few men off the coast of Florida. They had a list of targets to destroy. One of those targets was the Horseshoe Curve, just west of Altoona, PA. The Curve was part of the PRR’s main line that was critical for moving military equipment manufactured in the Detroit area for shipment to Europe.
Fortunately, the men were caught quickly, before they could do any damage.
