| Vistas. Here is the second of three original photos that I took from atop the former Pennsylvania Railroad Test Plant building in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during June of 1973. Shown here in this South-facing view is a vacant field that once contained the Altoona Machine Shops, the Western Roundhouse, the Locomotive Test Plant, as well as the PRR System's Test Plant. Even the green-domed Altoona High School will soon be demolished! Brush Mountain dominates the distance. |
