## Description

Founded by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Altoona is rail country: the 1854 Horseshoe Curve still carries Norfolk Southern freights over the Alleghenies, and the Juniata Shops remain one of North America's great locomotive works. By comparison, Altoona-Blair County Airport (IATA: AOO, ICAO: KAOO) in Martinsburg plays a supporting role — Contour Airlines flies a subsidized Essential Air Service link to Charlotte (CLT), alongside busy general aviation. On the freight side, a FedEx Feeder handles small-package express; larger air cargo for Blair County moves via Pittsburgh (PIT) or by rail. Altoona is also home to convenience-store chain Sheetz.
