PRR East Altoona Turntable, c. 1957         
Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken just East of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Shown here ~ just after taking a spin on the East Altoona Turntable ~ is an unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad "I" Class (2-10-0) "Decapod" steam locomotive awaiting its next assignment. Visible at the right are dozens and dozens of hopper cars filled with freshly-mined coal, awaiting movement to eastern consumer markets.
