How did Altoona get its "Cinder City" nickname?
Altoona got its start in 1881 when the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway opened up a new terminal on land that would eventually become the City of Altoona. At that time, the railroad utilized steam engines to power its locomotives. The fuel to power the steam engines was from burning coal, wood or oil. Cinders, small pieces of partly burned coal and wood, were the result of the burning process. This is how Altoona became known as the "Cinder City!"
