Man, when I saw this post card I knew instantly that it was Tarentum, Pa., 6 miles from home, even before I saw the printing at the top by the cancelling stamp. Absolutely PRR. There are still two tracks through there, (one a siding). but the station was moved a hundred feet or so to the left, (up the hill), and is now a restaurant. This is all Norfolk Southern territory now, and the line you are looking at is the Conemaugh line, beginning in Pittsburgh's North Side, following the Allegheny, which it crosses just over the hill from my house, then the Kiskiminetas, and Conemaugh rivers merging with the Pittsburgh line at Conpit Junction, where the east bound trains pick up helpers to get them over the mountain and down into Altoona.
My! How Tarentum has changed. Dang near a ghost town now since the malls came along 30 or so years ago.

Mitch, Thanks and your last sentence is so true so many places.

Pictures of property flooded that was built next to a river taken 100 years ago. Humans haven't learned anything in that 100 years. Still doing the same thing except now blaming it on burning fossil fuels instead of the weather....

100, 1000, 10,000 years...........doesn't matter.

With all the technology available today we are supposed to be a lot smarter than were were a 100 years ago..

Technology has nothing to do with intelligence. Knowledge is something that intelligence uses to create technology.

None of that has anything to do with "smart".

It is to you and I, but many others don't know the differences.

Fabulous; beautiful if crafted as a model for a model train layout, IMO .

Yes! Only wish I had the opposite 3/4 view and could see how it connects to the small building and maybe that boiler house?

Robert,
IMO an interesting group of photos. The mixture of clothing, ages and sexes of the people is really varied.
I'll return to this later to read more.

When I say something like this I always think that someone will imply that some stuff is not interesting.
I find interesting reading all the time on MTJ. I cannot say the same for some other forums.
