| AltoonaWorks posted Here is a photo by Thomas Lynam that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during February of 1949. It was published originally in Robert L. Emerson's 1984 book entitled "Allegheny Passage: An Illustrated History Of Blair County," page 75. Thomas C. Ayers Photo Caption: "The sight of clouds billowing out of a passing steam engine vanished shortly after these two photos were made, as the newer diesel engine edged its older sister out of commission. Both the J-1a steam engine (top) and the EMD diesels (not shown) ~ nicknamed 'covered wagons' ~ were photographed in Altoona's Pennsy yard in 1949." This photo was taken just East of the 7th Street Bridge. |
