The Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona, PA is very pleased to announce the acquisition of the blunt-end observation car "Mountain View". Seeing duty over 3 decades as the tailcar, along with its sister "Tower View", on the Broadway Limited, this PRR classic has a new home in Altoona. Obtained as a result of a private/public partnership between the Commonwealth of PA (State Rep Rick Geist), the former owner, Mr. Kelvin Woods, and Bennett & Eric Levin, the car will be the jewel of the Museum rolling stock collection. It needs sidesheet work, glass replacement, and paint outside with the interior being complete/original needing only light interior finish/paint touch up and cleaning. Fully AMTRAK compatible, the Museum plans to put the car back in excursion/charter service.
Again - a HUGE thank you to Rep Geist, Kelvin Woods, and especially the Levins - Bennett and Eric for making this acquisition possible. Special thanks to AMTRAK, Juniata Terminal Company, Conrail and Norfolk Southern for a smooth delivery.
