Great shots! Even though the old signals are gone it still looks like plenty of action!

Thanks for sharing!

It's just  a little painful looking at the remains of the Summerhill signal bridge...

What an album.  Thanks for the trip.
I'm guessing that the wreck train in #13 belongs to the Altoona Railroaders Museum.

Real nice series of photos!  Will be weird the next time I go to Altoona/West Slope area and go to spots and not see the old PRR signals anymore.

Nice bunch..  Some decent color on the West Slope and Middle Division.  Didn't know about the abandoned Turnpike tunnels.
