| Here is page 118 of a 156-page monograph entitled "A Special History Study; Pennsylvania Railroad Shops And Works; Altoona, Pennsylvania." The study was written by Dr. John C. Paige, and published by the United States Department of the Interior's National Park Service during May of 1989. Photo Caption: "Altoona Shops, Casting Stores and Test Plant." The spindly structure in the photo's center is a Drop Test Machine; the four-story building behind it is the PRR's Test Plant. The name of the Shopman driving the battery-powered truck pictured here is not recorded. Photo courtesy of Altoona Area Public Library Collection. |
