Here is page one of a 15-page article by Bert Pennypacker entitled "Soliloquy Of Altoona." It was published originally in the April 1978 issue of "Rails Northeast" magazine, page 17. Partial Caption: "'Aerotrain' approaches [Gallitzin] Tunnel with a westbound scheduled passenger run. . . . Photo taken at Gallitzin, Pa., Sept. 56, by Philip R. Hastings." The PRR's "Aerotrain" was built by General Motors during July of 1955, but lasted only a year or so before being withdrawn from service. |
