Album Info:Here are the front cover and a 14-page cover article by Mr. Fred W. Frailey entitled "Mountain Railroad Revisited." They were published originally in the January 1985 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 24-37. "More than a quarter-century ago, TRAINS took an in-depth look at the Pennsylvania Railroad artery connecting Altoona and Pittsburgh ['World's Busiest Mountain Railroad,' pages 16-30, April 1957] and liked what it saw. Superlatives spun off the pages of that issue like box cars coming down the throat of a hump yard ~ for good reason. The Main Line was, as David P. Morgan wrote back then, 'like nothing else in the U.S. or in the world.'" (Page 24)
