Here is a postal card entitled "Manhattan Limited." No Postmark. Caption On Reverse: "A view of the Manhattan Limited at the Penn Central Railroad's station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in November of 1968. The Manhattan Limited is westbound for Chicago. In the background are the former Pennsylvania Railroad's Shops, now the site of the Railroaders Memorial Museum. Photo Courtesy: David W. Seidel." The only sign of life in this photo appears to be the workers at the baggage car; there's not one passenger in sight, unlike the good ol' days when there were literally throngs of them. Photo taken from the 12th Street Footbridge. |
