| Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1953. In the background are several of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Passenger Car Shops that border on Chestnut Avenue. In the foreground are some parked passenger cars, marshalled for eventual reconditioning. Next over are three Fairbanks-Morse diesel-electric units, idling away on the 7th Street Locomotive Ready Tracks. Photo taken from the 7th Street Bridge. |
