PCN's cameras go deep into the Altoona Railroad Museum to give viewers a closer look. Here in Altoona, an army of railroaders designed, built, and maintained the Pennsylvania Railroad, the largest railroad in the world. The President of the Pennsylvania Railroad was at one time considered more powerful than the President of the United States. Boasting 250,000 employees, the railroad's budget was larger than that of the U.S. government. This Altoona museum is meant to honor these workers and their contributions to the culture and development of the railroad industry, and to preserve their heritage.
