Named for the Pennsylvania Railroad's Gallitzin Tunnels running nearby, Tunnelhill sits at 2,323 feet — the third-highest elevation of any town in Pennsylvania. We offer same-day appliance repair in Tunnelhill, straddling the Blair-Cambria County line.
Incorporated in 1876, Tunnelhill is a tiny mountaintop borough — mostly in Cambria County but crossing into Blair — sitting right at the eastern portals of the Gallitzin Tunnel on the old Pennsylvania Railroad main line. At just under half a square mile with a population in the low hundreds, it's one of the smallest communities we serve, and its high elevation means winter weather often arrives here before it reaches Altoona.
Homes closest to the historic rail line reflect the borough's origins as a small railroad-adjacent community.
Some Tunnelhill addresses sit in Cambria County and some in Blair — we confirm coverage either way when you call.
Being one of the highest towns in the state, Tunnelhill can see earlier snow and colder temps than the valley below.
