The crew of PRR class C1 0-8-0 boards the locomotive at the Annville
Yard Office prior to taking out the Reading interchange transfer run.
The office building was scratchbuilt of styrene by noted local modeler
Mike Havron and is patterned after Rose Tower in Altoona as it appeared
in the early 1950's.

At the East end of Annville Yard are the Diesel engine service area,
the Post Office and Railway Express. This photo looks over the roofs
of Lima, Alco and EMD power to the Post Office (with spotted baggage
mail car) and Railway Express buildings.

East Valley is home to a couple of I1sa 2-10-0 snappers (called helper
locomotives on other railroads) that push heavy freight trains up the
hill and around Horseshoe Curve to Annville Yard.
