Top-Right Photo, Partial Caption: "Here is the east end of the station platform. The locomotives, which appear to be Class E-3, are backing into the station to pick up trains which they will take to Harrisburg." Photo taken from the 12th Street Footbridge. The Altoona Passenger Station pictured here was constructed during 1887 and demolished on 19 November 1977; it served generations of travelers for 90 years!
