Former classification yard operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad and later Conrail. As railroad traffic changed from carload to intermodal freight, the importance of Altoona Yard diminished and the classification hump was decommissioned and most of the yard tracks are used for storage of old cars. Part of the yard is still used for flat switching and re-crewing operations.
