PRR "ABL" Sign, 1960
Description:
Everyday. Here is an original photo that I took in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, in March of 1960. Shown here is the Pennsylvania Railroad's yellow "ABL" sign about half-way between WYE Tower and the Passenger Station. The acronym "ABL" means Approach Block Limit. Also visible is a long string of retired box cars that are on their way to the PRR's Reclamation Plant in Frankstown. Once upon a time, there were four tracks here! In this photo, the tracks occupy the original right-of-way for the Allegheny Portage Railroad between Duncansville (to the rear) and Hollidaysburg from 1834 to 1854.

Most of the cars in this train are new 70-ton hopper cars, just produced at the Samuel Rea Shop in Hollidaysburg. The PRR Shop Car in the foreground is used to transport newly-finished wheel-and-axle assemblies from the Altoona Shops to the Samuel Rea Shop.
