Altoona & Logan Valley #73, 1947 |
| Description: |
ALV. Here is a photo from the December 1947 issue of "Railroad" magazine, page 100. Photo Caption: "Altoona & Logan Valley car No. 73 rolling into Hollidaysburg, Pa. Line will disappear when the planned change to buses takes place." Additional Text from page 101: "Soon to join the trolley-less cities is Altoona, Pa., a town well-known to all Pennsylvania Railroad men. Walter C. Merritt, 2105 Washington Ave., Altoona, writes that the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric contemplates a million-dollar program of bus substitution, which will bring about the abandonment of the rail lines within a year or so. Slated to disappear along with the local lines will be the double-tracked suburban run to the county seat at Hollidaysburg, Pa. The busy route provides a regular service of three cars an hour, each way. But the traction company is now bus-minded, so the cars will have to go." Photo taken at the intersection of Allegheny & North Juniata Streets, just across the bridge from the PRR's Passenger Station. |
