PRR Eastbound Freight Train, c. 1952         
Niles. Here is the 18th of 19 original photos by George Niles, Jr., that were taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1952. Passing under the 17th Street Bridge is a single 2-10-0 "Decapod" pulling a mixed-cargo freight train to the Eastbound Receiving Yard. Also visible are several of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shops on the left and its X-Ray Laboratory on the right. The locomotive's road number and the exact date are not recorded.
