PRR Altoona Car Shops, 1965
Description:
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad property between SLOPE and WORKS Towers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 06 June 1965. Shown here is all that remains of the engine ladder and ready tracks just East of the 17th Street Bridge. In olden days, this was one of the busiest places in all of PRR-Altoona. But by June 1965, there are no more roundhouses (once there were three of them here), no more locomotives waiting to be serviced or to be of service, and no more Altoona Car Shops ~ most of their functions having been transplanted to the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Nothing much left but ghosts and echoes . . . which have since been supplanted by a shopping mall and the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum.

Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains between SLOPE and WORKS Towers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 06 June 1965. Shown here (L to R) is PRR engine #6302 and two other units whose numbers are not visible. All are AF-27's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower each. They are in the middle of an ore train and are helping to move it up the Allegheny Mountains. Note that the eastbound coal train pulled by PRR engine #9530 is still stopped on the far right track.

In 1965, this was the exception; nowadays, it is the norm.
