| Coaling Tipple. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of the Pennsylvania Railroad's coaling tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 11 September 1965. Here is a view facing northeast. Once upon a time, this was one of the busiest and most important places in all of PRR-Altoona. Eight steam engines could be serviced simultaneously! Now, it is just an empty shell ~ haunted by ghosts of glories past! |
