NS in the Altoona Area

Pittsburg Line

April 2007 Continued

One last overall view.

This wide open area between Home Nursing Agency and the Tank and Steal Shops is used for storage, but was once the site of the Altoona Car Shops erecting shop, which was the largest roundhouse in the world.

There are lots of GP38's here waiting for rebuild and return to service.

This is the former PRR Altoona passenger Car Shop and now Union Tank Car Company.

ALTO tower.

A pair of SD60I's is in the yard not coupled to anything.

Meet at Rose.

NS 2719 is getting read to make a double and head east.

An interesting shot as two Conrail blue pass eachother.

July 2007

Hmmm, a rare blue helper set. The helpers are being painted fairly rapidly and blue helper sets are getting pretty rare.

Wide view at Rose.

A road crew is backing to their train.

The Rose yard office with the yard to the left and behind.

August 2007

A westbound freight waits on 2 secondary for a crew change.

Westbound intermodal speeds through.

October 2007

Helpers by the brickyard.

There are lots of boxcars stored in the "Brush Yard" at Altoona.

Overall view of the Juniata Shops.

In this photo, it is evident that Altoona Yard was much larger than it is today.

The F units are at the E&M shop nose to nose.

Wide view of the Juniata Shops.

February 2008

10N comes off the mountain and passes Alto with a headend helper.

An A-B-A set of F units leads eight cars east to Harrisburg, then they'll go south.

March 2008

The Everett has sold their 6051 to NREX. Here the CB10 has returned to Altoona with the 6051 and cars in tow.

Under the pedestrian bridge.

CB10 passing Rose.

The power is returning lite heading for the cabin tracks.
