PRR East Altoona Deadline, c. 1957         
Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken just East of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Shown here is a pair of Pennsylvania Railroad "T" Class (4-4-4-4) "Duplex" steam locomotives that have been deadlined in preparation for scrapping. The smoke in the sky betrays the presence of a working steamer just West of the Tipple. It's a sight seen here since 1850 ~ but it'll soon disappear forever, along with the "Age of Steam."
