My father was station agent for many years at Gallitzin, my home town. I went to high school in Altoona (to then Altoona Catholic HS, now Bishop Guilfoyle HS) when the shops were booming, making both cars and locomotives. All gone now, along with the "Pennsy". Norfolk Southern owns the tracks and all. When I get up that way, it still looks odd to me to see those black and white engines instead of "Pennsy red."
