Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line - Part 4 - Huntingdon, PA

[BirinHanser]

I grew up in Huntingdon, and I can tell you that that old (HUNT) tower has seen a lot more action than you can imagine. In the days of the PRR, the mainline was 4-tracked, and it wasn't unusual for all 4 of them to have a looong freight on them at once. I saw as many as ten GP9s and GP7s lashed up on coal trains that seemed to go on forever. Early diesel and even steam pounded those rails day and night. Those were the days.

HUNT tower is a museum today, BTW.
