East Altoona. Here is an original photo by Bruce R. Meyer that was taken in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 2 July 1956. Shown here during the waning days of the Steam Age are (L to R) the cabin car storage tracks, several fired-up steam locomotives positioned under the ash pit gantry cranes, as well as five idling diesel locomotives awaiting their next assignments. Discernable in the distance is the 8th Street Bridge. Photo taken from Juniata's 17th Street Bridge, facing West. |
