Superb photo, Timothy. For those of us who are non-railroaders, you've shown us something that many never knew existed. My PCA and thanks for a shot that really is informative, especially your write-up.

Imagine having that right in your back yard! I never realized there were houses right next door...

Hope those homes don't have well water!

Nice overhead view and interesting PRR comments! If you are ever in the Altoona area, this is a great rail fan bucket list area to visit. It's easy to find and you can park just outside a fence by the turn table.

never thought about a shot from above. I wonder if NS hires freight car repairmen here?

That is such an excellent perspective to get the shops jobs, at various stages, of Locomotive Works!

So many details to see in this photo!!

This is a dead end turntable as on most other railroads can go on through. Here they are turned and sent back. Would make a nice pic for a jig saw puzzle.

Would be an amazing yard to raise my kids in. Also a great spot to rail fan with the kids.
