Altoona Transportation Center
[3] When Amtrak took over intercity passenger service in May 1971, it retained two daily round trips serving Altoona – the Duquesne and the combined Broadway Limited/Spirit of St.[6]: 91 Amtrak and Penn Central vacated the old station effective November 6, 1972; it was demolished to make room for a parking garage.Although Penn Central originally planned a $400,000 replacement station, a 12-by-60-foot (3.7 m × 18.3 m) trailer instead served as a ticket office and waiting room.Candidates for city positions structured their campaigns around the expense of, feasibility of, and location of the pending transit hub.[11] By October of the same year Harry Weese and Associates, an architectural firm from Washington D.C., had been chosen to conduct a series of surveys in order to determine the optimal location for the proposed structure.
