| Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 31 August 1960. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9394, an ES-12 built by EMD in May of 1950 and rated at 1,200 horsepower. In this context, it's pushing a string of gondolas past WYE Tower toward the Hollidaysburg Yards. Note the dwarf signal in the foreground. From 1834 to 1954, this was the original right-of-way for the Allegheny Portage Railroad. |
