Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 3 July 1965. Shown here is PRR engine #9541, an EF-15 built by EMD in 1948 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. Along with two other Diesels and a 77-car freight train, it is stopped at 3rd Street in Duncansville, awaiting orders to proceed up the New Portage Branch Line to Gallitzin and points West. |
