Juniata Locomotive Shop
BrownfieldAltoona, Blair, Pennsylvania · Norfork Southern Corp
Juniata Locomotive Shop is a coal plant in Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania, retired 2015-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 4 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
