PRR East Altoona Roundhouse, 1964         
Roundhouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad property in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 05 April 1964. Shown here (R to L) are the East Altoona Roundhouse (in very shabby condition), the East Altoona Coaling Tipple and Water Tower, as well as the Westbound Classification Yards (with lots of rusting rolling stock) and HOMER Tower. Also visible are many deadlined Diesels that are destined for the scrapper. Photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge.

Alan Fricker General And to think that all of this gone or greatly reduced in scope today. Sad to think of the jobs lost and lives affected by that loss. 8/13/2016 11:11:05 AM
