| Description: |
Wye Switchds. Here is an original photo that I took at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 1 August 1962. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9574 and #2008. #9574 is a BF-15 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in March of 1949. rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in December of 1963. #2008 is a BF-16 constructed by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in October of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of.1966. These two "Sharks" and N-5 cabin car # 477719 have just come from East Altoona. They're about to cross US Route 22 and proceed up the New Portage Branch line for a hundred feet or so, then back into the Hollidaysburg Yards, pick-up a train of new and/or reconditioned freight cars, and then head up the New Portage Branch to Gallitzin and points West. |
