Pennsylvania Railroad Altoona Works Fire Department

==History==
The City of Altoona was founded by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1849, and the Altoona Works were built soon after, as a manufacturing and repair facility for their locomotives & rail cars. By the 1930s, it was the largest facility of its' kind in the world. The works stopped making locomotives in 1946, and the Pennsylvania Railroad eventually went under after a failed merged with the New York Central Railroad in the 1970s; resulting in the creation of the government-owned Conrail. In 1999, Conrail dissolved, and the works were bought by Norfolk Southern; who still operate them today. It is presumed that the fire department closed sometime in the 1970s.
