| Hazy. Here is an original photo that I took of Penn Central Railroad property in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during July of 1973. Shown here on the left are several freight trains awaiting crews and engines to pull them up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. Visible on the right is what used to be the Eastbound Receiving Yard. Given that some of the switches at the Yard's throat have been removed, chances are that the railroad cars now stored there face uncertain fates. Photo taken from the 4th Street Bridge. |
