OriginalAltoona, Pennsylvania in 1895, showing the Pennsylvania Railroad repair shop complex.
Reason
I love railroad history, and Altoona hosted the main repair shop complex for the Pennsylvania Railroad, making a view of it particularly interesting. And, yes, I do intend to do as much of Fowler's work as I can, it's a fantastic resource.
