Norfolk Southern's Juniata Locomotive Shop, Altoona, PA

This short clip from History Channel's 'Extreme Trains' series shows the Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, PA, where the Pennsylvania Railroad (1846-1968) built many of its steam and electric locomotives until the 1940's. After dieselization the shops continued as a heavy overhaul and repair facility for subsequently the Pennsylvania Railroad and its successors Penn Central (1968-1970), Conrail (1970-1999) and Norfolk Southern (1999-). In the late 90's it assembled a series of new heavy freight duty SD70 locomotives from the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors and a number of freight locomotive derived passenger locomotives.
