Title:
PRR SLOPE Tower, 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 an East-facing view from the 24th Street Bridge. Visible on the left is SLOPE Tower. The 12th Street Shops are visible in the middle distance. In olden days, there was a locomotive turntable immediately across the tracks from the Tower ~ where the weed patch is in this photo. The long open area to the right of the signal bridge was once filled with fired-up steam locomotives, waiting to push heavy trains up the Alleghenies.

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.

Description:
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train between SLOPE and WORKS Towers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 06 June 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2290, #2264, and two others whose numbers are not visible. All were built by EMD. #2290 and #2264 are EF-25's built in 1964 and rated at 2,500 HP each. They are pulling a westbound merchandise train past WORKS Tower. What is notable, here, is that this train is on one of the "passenger" tracks and will not stop in Altoona to change crews. In 1965, this was the exception; nowadays, it is the norm.

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 are the roof of WORKS Tower in the foreground, the east- and westbound "passenger" tracks on the left, two westbound freight trains ready for dispatch, and two idling locomotives on the right. From what I understand, most of this has vanished.
