| Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken just West of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Prominent here is an unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad Class I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" steam locomotive on its way to the Tipple to replenish its coal, sand, and water supplies. Visible at the far right is HOMER Tower, perched at the crest of the Westbound Classification Yard. |
