PRR 8566, ES-15M, 1962
Title:  PRR 8566, ES-15M, 1962
Description:  Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 27 August 1962. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #8566 and #8555. Both are ES-15M's built by EMD in 1953 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. They have pulled a mixed-cargo freight train down the New Portage Branch via the Muleshoe Curve, and are about to cross US Route 22 on their way into Altoona where they will merge with the mainline at ALTO Tower and proceed to the Eastbound Classification Yards.
