| Here is page 56 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Photo Caption: "The Samuel Rea Complex in Hollidaysburg was built in 1955 for $20 million. The largest railroad carbuilding shop in the world constructed nearly 47,000 new cars and repaired more than 108,000 between 1955 and 1973." As of March 2019, portions of this structure are still utilized by Curry Rail Services for the construction of replacement engine cabs and certain specialized freight cars. The PA Route 36 highway bridge (built during 1966) is visible just West of the Shop; a curving portion of US Route 22 is also visible at the lower right, immediately below Bald Hill. |
