History & local legend
The Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona occupies the Pennsylvania Railroad's former Master Mechanics Building, where materials were once tested for the railroad. Its galleries preserve the working lives of local railroaders, including photographs and recorded recollections.
One visitor's account gives that collection a personal ghost story. In a comment posted to Haunted Places on March 25, 2017, a woman named Nicole said she had wandered away from her family inside the museum. She heard a voice directing her attention across the room. When she turned, she found herself alone in front of a photograph of her grandfather, who had worked for the railroad.
Other stories collected on the same page describe faint big-band music and an apparition called Frank.
