| Good Day. Here is an original photo that I took in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 25 July 1960. Shown here are the Pennsylvania Railroad's Westbound Hump in the foreground and the Eastbound Classification Yard in the background. Also visible is a small Maintenance-of-Way structure on the Hump proper. Most of the gondolas and box cars in the foreground are marshalled to be rebuilt in the Samuel Rea Car Shop, but the railroad cars in the background would soon be scrapped at the PRR's Reclamation Plant. Given the outline of the stone foundation in this photo, there was once a sizeable tower here. Also visible are the rolling hills of West Loop and the rock outcrops on Locke Mountain in the distance. This photo was taken from atop Bald Hill. #5 of 12. |
