PRR "ABL" Sign, 1960         
Everyday. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad real estate in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, in March of 1960. Shown here is the yellow "ABL" sign about half-way between WYE Tower and the Passenger Station. The acronym "ABL" means Approach Block Limit. Also visible is a long string of retired box cars that are on their way to the PRR's Reclamation Plant in Frankstown. Once upon a time, there were four tracks here! In this photo, the tracks occupy the original right-of-way for the Allegheny Portage Railroad between Duncansville (to the rear) and Hollidaysburg.
