| Description: |
Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 1 August 1962. Shown here is PRR engine #8735, a BS-12M built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in September of 1952, rated at 1,200 horsepower, and retired in October of 1967 after just 15 years of revenue service. It is pushing a single loaded hopper car (#674134) from Hollidaysburg to Altoona. Note the railroader standing on top, acting as a lookout! |
