| ALV. Here is an image of a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 7 August 1954. Shown here (R to L) are Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway streetcars #70, #72, and three more cars whose road numbers are not recorded. They constitute the very last run of streetcars from Downtown Altoona to Eldorado and back. Thrice-hourly service began in 1891 and continued for 63 years! Photo taken on 6th Avenue near 58th Street and the end of the line. William E. Burket Collection. |
