PRR "Century of Progress," 1895
Description:
Here is the "1895" portion of a pamphlet published by the Pennsylvania Railroad entitled "100 Years of Progress in Modern Railroading." Covering the years 1833 to 1933, it was distributed during the Chicago World's Fair of 1933-1934. Partial Text: "It was a State-owned project built to connect the City and Port of Philadelphia with the State system of canals on the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers, by which the boats were moved to the foot of the Allegheny Mountains at Hollidaysburg, Pa. From that point the canal boats were drawn across the mountains on wheeled trucks, by means of stationary engines and cables, and placed in another canal extending to Pittsburgh. The purpose was to give Philadelphia a commercial route to and from the new West, via the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers." [Allegheny Portage Railroad]

Hollidaysburg Aerial Photo, 1938
Description:
Old Time PRR. Here is an aerial photo of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, taken on 23 October 1938. To the West/left is Pittsburgh, to the East/right is Philadelphia, in the center is the Pennsylvania Railroad's roundhouse. Not only is it in the center of the west- and eastbound classification yards, it is in the virtual center of the photo. Could one say that the Railroad was the real "heart" of Hollidaysburg?
