A few new photos of the turntable pit excavation in Altoona. Remnants of Erecting Shop #1, Altoona Works, 1850/1860 were uncovered. http://www.railroadcity.com/gallery/index.php?cat=49 More to come. |

I trust documentation is being done on the remains and some part of it can be preserved for future display. Joshua |

Photographs are being taken and artifacts being preserved although there haven't been many. Since the old building ran in a direction that takes it inside the new roundhouse, we are examining the plans of the new building to see if we can unearth a piece of the old structure and have it displayed in the floor of the new facility. Perhaps under glass. |
