Arranging the Train |
| Description: |
At the west end of the former PRR Hollidaysburg Shop and Yard complex, the crew picks up two covered hoppers from a storage track, and reorganizes their train for the run down to Martinsburg. Wind turbines spin in the distant background along Old U.S. 22, just above 'Muleshoe Curve' on the original Allegheny Portage RR. |
